Hm. But then nnslashdot would have to download all the articles for all the topics before letting you read anything. Which might be slightly overkill. :-) If each topic was a group (darn, those sparrows on the veranda are awfully distracting), er, uhm, uhm, yes, if each topic was a group, then `F' would subscribe to the new groups, and entering them would give you a threaded display of the (unread) messages. Hm. But there's only room for a single line in the group buffer... Scratch that. We have a single nnslashdot group. When you select that, you get to read the headlines. And then there's a magic command that lets you select each topic in a new group, kinda like nndoc. nnslashtopic groups? But the groups have to be persistent, since we want to keep track of what articles we have read. This is getting rather complicated. :-) -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
