Whatever "cross indexing" is, I suspect it would take a good deal of it to determine whether, & if so how, this facility would enable me to distinguish between business & personal postings. In practice, all newsgroup postings, for me, are personal, so that part is actually mentioned. For email, however, it is not obvious how to automate the distinction. For a reply to incoming mail, it depends on whether, prior to replying, I stowed the email in a subdirectory of ~/b or ~/p. For mail originated by me, I suppose it would depend on establishing somewhere a list of all my customers -- and remembering to update it when I got a new customer. All that to avoid remembering the difference between M-x bsig and M-x psig! > You're not winding me up here are you? :-) I don't know that idiom. Is it related to "get the wind up"? That I have at least heard of. No, I am not trying to alarm you. %^) -- --- Joe Fineman [email protected] ||: One doesn't fly the enemy's flag, but there is no need to :|| ||: call it a bad flag. :|| _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
