   RN just wasn't built for "kill all but" article filtering.  The suggested
   mechanism, as you say, doesn't work right, and would be slow even if it
   did.

GNUS has a very useful "kill all but" approach, though it's limited
by the speed of the 'nntp.el' approach.  I troll through many 
megabytes of news without too much problem.  --Ed
