Score rules should be applied before any articles are retrieved (which is pretty much how things are now). At this point there are three use modes to handle: * off-line: download all articles with a score greater than or equal to some customizable value, defaulting to 0. * on-line: works exactly like nntp does now, excepting that any read articles that are not already in the local spool are added when they are retrieved (similar to passive caching). * interactive off-line: user explicitly marks the articles to retrieve, which are then stored in the local spool. Summary buffers should have the ability to be "narrowed" to display just articles that are in the local spool area. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3a Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBMuPGjp6VRH7BJMxHAQFN5QP9HbRSnJOEcgO2P8+kGHO0j4OujsHdeZLP 0d1Az5QHgZ5fB1ndN5bExFcs5pmQgPxTYEPwp+W2pt8XU8IiZSCKPOUx0HS2anKi wkmbRCDiftf6q3xP7j3/xeg51LKRa9w9RXlQMyJQNV5kzK9xuc7fLty0xHN04+R3 r4diqXY8HW0= =2ZSA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Rich Pieri | Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
