 DF>From: freedman@cpsc.ucalgary.ca (Daniel Freedman) 
 DF>Has anyone thought of allowing news readers to do the following things: 
 DF> 
 DF>1) view all new messages that have the same subject together, rather than 
 DF>   having to juggle many subjects in his head while reading news. 
 
Try ^N (if I recall correctly) in rn. 
 
 DF> 
 DF>2) easily apply the 'n' function to not only the current article, but also 
 DF>   to all followups to it. 
 
See above. 
 
Even humble fidonet PC news reading software let's you seek for any 
keyword(s) in the subject line, and display headers accordingly, or 
move through a conference based on commonality in the subject line. 
 
It's a great idea. It was implemented long ago.
