I haven't seen any forum where I can add highlighters of threads by keyword (not by searching, but in the regular view) or ignore parts of a thread while still following other parts or set reminders to show a mail again after some time (i.e. in my RM times I used that to highlight "important" threads before release to make sure they were solved) Also I've seen no forum which works offline. Mail is designed as an open standard for exchanging messages. Since the introduction of the In-Reply-To-Header (which probably comes from NTTP which was introduced in 1986) there are tons of tools to handle discussions as I as the recipient see need. With a web forum I'm always forced to the operator. Anyways I'm only repeating myself :-) johannes -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
