I do have one comment on the CBIP headers - the Subject: line should stay the same for all files in a group so that kill files and subject-thread code work. (I know that I can edit my kill file and make it work, but it'd be much nicer if K would just do what it's supposed to do.) Putting the part info in the Summary line or some other aux header would be fine, though it wouldn't show in lists-of-articles.

There was discussion in some other newsgroups about how subject lines differing slightly were difficult to kill. One good suggestion that came out of that discussion was to modify news readers to treat material in parentheses as a comment, and have only that part change. Precisely for this reason, I always put the "part xx/xx" part in parens. So that if somebody, somewhere, has modified his news reader to treat that as a comment, killing the subject will work. Perhaps one day this convention will be standard. For now, you will have to hack your news reading program. -- Rahul Dhesi UUCP: <backbones>!{iuvax,pur-ee}!bsu-cs!dhesi ARPA: dhesi@bsu-cs.bsu.edu
