I'm an 'rn' user. I use the -S option to allow me to read my articles
in a "Subject Thread" order. However, there are several newsgroups
that I check out the subjects of before I read any articles. I use
= at the newsgroup selection level to give me a list of subjects.
So far, so good.
Instead of =, what I really want is a list of subjects with only the first
unread article in any Subject Thread listed. That way I wouldn't have to wade
through screens full of article subjects that are identical.
I've tried
/./|my_own_filter_for_doing_this
but that takes too long to get all the articles thru SNTP. I really
just want the subjects anyway. What I really want is:
/./=|my_own_filter
but that doesn't have the semantics of dumping the output of = into
my filter.
Hints would be appreciated.
Even if there is no answer, 'rn' is still the best news reader I've used. :-)
