Then kill the subjects that you aren't interested in--though I would recommend
only killing them for 30 days or else it will take nn a while to compile
the kill file...

Have nn automatically select on the subject line of your own msg (for
30 days, once again) and it will auto-select the articles.

Yes.

Where would it keep the subject lines?  How would it handle the number
of possible subject lines?  (128^40 ?)

Where would it keep the subject lines?  How would it handle the number
of possible subject lines?  (128^40 ?)

I would recommend just using the existing kill function for both of these
functions.
