	I believe that's the same as gnus. You can give a rank/score to a 
subthread, and if you do it properly, it's pretty much the same as 
killing it. I'm guessing tin probably can do it - I never used it long 
enough to figure it out.

	Now that I think about it - I don't see why I'm *not* using tin...

	gnus seems like a huge headache to learn.

	It's just that I'm sick of mutt. Sick, sick and sick! I've heard that 
gnus is the most versatile you can get, so I thought I might as well 
dive into that.

When a cat falls from a height, it always lands on her feet.

If you tie a buttertoast over a cat with the butterside to the top, and 
let both fall, what will face the floor, the butter or the feet?
