neat - can we make something that will filter out all the FTX in mail

I tell mutt that that's plain text (with some noise), it doesn't display
it at all.  But cool for the web interface users :)  Attack of the
animated gif sigs :)

I guess I'll reserve comment until I see how this gets used, but I'm
really hoping it doesn't sound a death knell for use of news readers.

One favor to ask though, while URL links show up as still clickable in a
newsreader, all the nifty set and parts database links don't. Could the
interface convert those to URL links for text clients (news and mail).
Of course once they are a URL link, a reply from a text client that
included the link would have the URL link not the original set or parts
link.
