Seems nice - how could something with such a nice name as > "Gnorb" disappoint you... ;-) Glad it's working! It does seem complicated, partly because it *is* complicated, but partly because it's hard to explain the workflow in words. I keep meaning to make a screencast of the tracking feature, but I haven't gone and looked into packages for doing that. There's something called "screenkey" that looks okay, but I'd like something more Emacs aware, where you can filter out everything but commands from a single package. Anyway, please report bugs/feature requests. I've gotten a bit distracted from Gnorb while working on EBDB, and now attacking bits of Gnus, but it's really all the same project. Eric
