I don't understand, Steve. I would understand if you'd say that you are
talking about "lower levels" like NNTP vs. SMTP/POP protocol an the

a news "folder"? It is all a matter of how it is presented to the user.

I'm still reading news in Agent (no scoring functionality) :-)

Well, wouldn't this be a nice feature for The Bat! 2.0? To the wish list
it goes!
