Poster's names and subject lines, right? Often I do that just to find answers to questions I have asked and forgotten the answers to. Sometimes I use the two to find the name of a poster that I remember saying a certain something. And it's just a great way to browse archives from the application that I live in---everything else bugs me, including browsers, but when in Rome ... thank you sean and michael for explaining the benefits. i'll keep at it. You're welcome. Sorry I cannot be of more help; Gnus is pretty big and I use it for such a comparatively small purpose. It does so much and what I have it do for me is so narrow but so perfect.
