Or perhaps on a time to the oldest unread article (although that might be more difficult). There are a few groups which tend to have low traffic, so I prefer to let messages accumulate and read them in batches, but I need to watch out for news server expiry. It'd also be good to know just how long it's been since I haven't read someone's mail. Hmm, I guess in the mail case using the oldest unread article would be good, because I sometimes 'M c' a messsage when I want to get back to it. I use '!' to let me know about things which I'm going to relook at again for myself, as opposed to sending someone a reply. With VM I used labels for some of these, by labeling mail to which I needed to reply and having those available in a seperate virtual group. This doesn't help with newsgroups, and I would think time info for mail would be better than the labels. -- David Moore | SysAdmin/Programmer __o UCSD Dept. of Anesthesiology - 0629 | Work: (619) 534-3865 _ \<,_ La Jolla, CA 92093-0629 | Fax: (619) 534-1445 (_)/ (_) | Solo Furnace Creek 508 -- 1996!
