I'm still around, relearning my own code.  Hopefully I'll recover my
2.1-in-progress work; it's currently inaccessible.

The main improvement, I recall, was buffering of long articles.  In
the meantime, I'll see if I can integrate mail with Gnews.  My time
is tight for now--I don't think we'll see 2.1 until December.

(And a special thanks to Mark Nagel for getting me an account with
lots of disk space.)
