I have been experimenting with some ideas for nn, which I would
like to hear some comments on.

I have been somewhat tired of seeing the same subjects again
and again, and would be interested in just seeing new
subjects plus the old ones that I cared for.

The other idea was to automatically see articles, that were followups
to my own articles, and also to automatically select followup
articles on those I have selected for reading.

Is this possible with the current nn?

I have planned two new variables:

ignore-re  (boolean, default false)
If set, articles with subjects already seen in a previous
invocation of nn or another newsreader - and not auto-selected -
are automatically killed.

auto-select-rw (boolean, default false)
If set, a subject of an article read or posted is automatically 
used for subsequent auto-selecting.
