Basically, I was surprised that there wasn't a
newsreader that wasn't more like discuss in it's subscription
It's "its".
semantics.
So, wait, you're saying that you think it would be *good* for there to
be a news reader that only kept track of the last message read, rather
than keeping track of a list of which messages have been read? I'm
not convinced of that at all. I think the correct answer is to make
the current functionality work in a more efficient way, not to
implement crippled news readers.
If you're talking about something else when you refer to discuss'
"subscription semantics," could you please clarify?
I'd be interested in looking into this, but right now I've
managed to spread myself a little too thin, so I'm not making any
promises. Where is there a copy of the uncompiled elisp that I can
look at?
Uncompiled elisp for what?
