I imagine that when Todd gets around to making the web site able to keep
track of which messages you've read, this feature will be available there
too. But I don't think that's going to be available for a while. :(


(This is one of many reasons I rarely use the web interface, and why I'm sad
to see new features [1] like the article rating scheme designed in a way
that leaves out people reading via nntp and mail.)

(...) I think it already does that - if you rate a message, it'll appear as rated by you in all the groups it's been crossposted to (with the little red arrow by the rating)... So all you need to do it rate each message you read ;) :) Dan (24 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
