Without the two above though, highwater marking is nigh on impossible though :-( RW> for consistency, i'd prefer it if we were using similar labeling and RW> commands to the mail reader. probably there needs to be a newsrc like RW> database for article status, or possibly fancier than newsrc. I've not seen it implemented as a database in the access / MySQL sense anywhere. Mostly it is just a textfile based system although it has been some time since I looked at how any program did it. Introducing a db would be a fairly fundamental change. There are a lot of things we could do if we had one underpinning M but I suspect lots would be unwilling to give up their MBX / MBOX ;-) I on the other hand would love the idea. I suspect that if we do go the full groupware direction in the future, having a decent database storage system would be very useful.
