Gnews comes with sample functions to do this particular customization; the default is like Rnmail Also, Gnews provides some kludgy path-aliasing/clean- ing functions for the benefit of those who've implemented RFC 915. Best of all, if you need to go back to the article and grab a path from the signature, you just switch buffers. I estimate I get > 90% of my e-mail through with almost no effort spent on finding a working path. (Being in Berkeley helps, of course, as does study of mail paths in all those flames I've received over the years. Many thanks!) ucbvax!garnet!weemba Matthew P Wiener/Brahms Gang/Berkeley CA 94720
