Robert Raschke coded a threaded version of Acme's News.
But that depends on the filesystem hierarchy of messages
in nntpfs. (n)upasfs does not thread messages at the level
of the fs. Indeed, it would be a better approach to thread at
the interface level, which should be possible all the same
and could apply to Acme's News interface as well (so we
can perhaps remove a lot of that code from nntpfs).

If anyone does this, I also suggest using Russ' rc version
(ported to Plan 9) of Acme Mail, instead of adapting the C
code.


Best,
