Who should control the way I spend my time: the >editor of the digest, or me? NN properly gives _me_ complete control. Rn gives you all the control you need. Theand keys make moving around standard format digests easy, and for nonstandard ones it's the work of a moment to && map a key to pipe an article into less(1) where you have fine control. NN is OK for those who are into that sort of thing I guess, but it didn't invent digest control. (And auto-splitting digests isn't what I call "control" anyway, more like "giving up.") -- "We walked on the moon -- (( Tom Neff you be polite" )) tneff@bfmny0.UU.NET
