Yes, I've been thinking along those lines, but a) it seems like lots of work, and 2) if we're not exceptionally clever, it'll take forever to query the server for all those Message-IDs, and iii) it won't work 100% correctly no matter what we do. But something like that really should be done. -- Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen * larsi@ifi.uio.no (a red leaf that falls from the purple tree)
