To get "include the prior post" but a new thread, you could do a regular follow-up, but delete the References: header while editing. If you don't usually edit headers, then you're stuck - but you could work around by saving the current article, starting a new thread, perhaps cut-n-pasting a Subject header, and then reading the saved article into the editor buffer, and inserting quote characters before each line. >Though I don't post to Usenet as much as I used to, especially in >new threads, I know I used to want this feature a lot. > >I also wish I could reply to *multiple articles* at once.

If the multiple articles were in different threads, you'd have a bit of a challenge about what to put in References, although I think that one of the successors to RFC 1036 did some handwaving about a header called See-Also - but I don't think it's in the current Usefor WG draft. http://www.landfield.com/usefor/ If you're talking about including/quoting different articles in one thread, that would be a bit easier, although you'd probably want to chose one article as the pre-cursor for References. -- Denis McKeon ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf
