I can understand that, though from what I've heard, implementing a bug tracking interface as a Gnus backend shouldn't be a monumental undertaking. Right now the Gnus people are discussing adding a slashdot backend which will keep a threaded display of all the current slashdot conversations. They plan for it (like news) to be incremental, only downloading articles on demand. If you added support for the BTS to return NOV style overview information on demand, you could probably just link the BTS backend straight in to most of the existing Gnus news infrastructure, but I'm no expert in that arena. The other advantage here is that Gnus has already adressed things like off-line news reading/writing (via the agent infrastructure), and already knows how to handle mail when you're ready to send. -- Rob Browning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP=E80E0D04F521A094 532B97F5D64E3930
