    Hi, I tried it out. I like the layout definitely, plus the feel
    of it, colors, etc.

    It's threading is buggy and watch flags don't propagate
    consistently.
    I've never had any problems at all with message threading
    using xpn ....

    Since I've always used Keep SubThread instead of Watch SubThread,
    I have no personal experience with the watch flags ....

    When using keep flags, new messages in a thread do have to be
    toggled on, so perhaps the the watch flags behave the same ....

    Such toggles are easily achieved by setting desired keystrokes
    in the KeyBindings.py file found in the xpn_src dir ....

    And there isn't any less spam.
    Fortunately, the groups I read including this one
    have a very tolerable spam/content ratio although
    it does fluctuate from time to time in some groups ....

    Perhaps some design concepts/components from spambayes which is
    also open source and python-based could be integrated with xpn
    to help diminish spam problems ....
