 Ayup, I certainly do. And very helpful indeed it is, if only to see
how much more news I need to expire to catch up to my news feed.

 There's no need to put it in the Subject: header, since it's already
in the first line.

 What I'd like to have is the software that produces these reports for
Cnews sites, so I can monitor the newsflow through the Ziebmef. I
looked at this at one point, and was stumped as to how to pull the
name of the system that sent me a particular article out of the
available logs.

 tor.news.tools, anyone? :-)

[Btw, Cnews is great; it's small, fast, works well, and is easily
modifiable. Great stuff.]
