... ... ..... 6.2.1.1 Macro to Show All Articles with Current Subject


Often you will read an article and want to go back and read all the
articles that have been posted with its subject.  Here's a macro that
does this.  To run it type ^a (CTL+a) while reading an article with
the subject you're interested in.


--- begin init.macros.all-subject ---
# Archived at ftp://ftp.halcyon.com/pub/ii/internet/nn/init.macros.all-subject

# Select all (even read) articles with this subject; display base article
# Assumes you have case-fold-search set, and want to do a case-sensitive
# search.
# BUG: Also finds articles with current subject as substring of subject.
#      (Anyone know how to do an exact match?)
map show ^a (
        :unset case-fold-search    # Make case sensitive
        goto-group "s" find "^" 'Z'
        :set case-fold-search      # Make case insensitive (default)
)
--- end init.macros.all-subject ---

To install this macro, put init.macros.all-subject in your ~/.nn directory
and put this line in your init file:

 load init.macros.all-subject
