Your example readers delete from the news directory, yet I'd expect=20 that's not going to be desirable for all setups- nor is leaving the=20 news item in the news directory, and having it flagged every sync by=20 emerge as unread. Might want to consider some way to mark an item as read without waxing=20 it from the directory, if against it, clarify in the glep why. ~harring --Yylu36WmvOXNoKYn Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDbJrQvdBxRoA3VU0RAgD3AKCBzuTlpJ0Kog56zawY2vP49tGwIACglvcc FSM65sgJWkuVvwbsFjDoR2A= =H5OF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Yylu36WmvOXNoKYn-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
