As a peripheral issue to stargate and phone news transmission, maybe it
is time to get an efficient version of the ihave/sendme feature of news
working properly.  I have never understood why the list of articles under
consideration could not be transmitted in the body of one big control article
rather than the headers of a bunch of little ones.

I know ... why don't you do it yourself.  Aside from the usual fact that time
is in short supply for me right now, I would have trouble justifying working
on it now as our site only has one news feed.

It would be nice to at least keep this under consideration in some future
distribution of the news software.
