Yeah, I'm pretty sure editing is in there because Pan[1] provided 
the option when I used it.

Actually Pan is a really great way to read the D news groups, but 
as I started to access the forums from many different places it 
was just easier to let the web track messages I'd read. (Pan even 
supports some markdown (bold and such)).
