That would be cool! Or maybe a slight color change (not too many pixels there
to work with for dotted line, especially on horizontal lines branching off of
vertical lines.
BTW, if you do "View thread details" below the thread tree, it displays new
subject lines in red, for example:
http://www.lugnet.com/news/thread.cgi?lugnet.cad:549
Maybe that's plenty visual info already (?) -- if you're digging through an old
thread looking for something, it's probably faster from the thread details
(with names and dates) than from the little dotted picture.
