I have finally finished debugging the routines for building the 'X-Refs' field up, so all future issues of Sunspots will contain this handy reference in the header. This information can be used to easily backtrack and retrieve (or find) all the other issues that contain information on a given topic. Additionally, this should help to cut down on some of the repetitive postings of the same question over and over again which I have heard a few complaints about. For normal questions, I run the X-Ref generator over the last 50 issues, if I see one that I think might have an answer in the archives somewhere, I'll run it over the entire archive manually (I don't do this for all questions just because it takes a long time to run :)) Thanks for all of your suggestions and feedback over the last several months - I hope that Sunspots (comp.sys.sun) will be able to continue to improve and better serve the Sun user community as time goes on.
