The discussions below are organized in digest-form, so you may
scan ahead for "^Subject:" to move from one topic to the next
(the ^G command does this in rn), and you may search for "^Subject: GN5"
(for example) to jump to the discussion of a particular question.
(The caret "^" before "Subject" is a convention of regular expressions
that restricts the search to match only at the beginning of a line.)
