Here a bunch of wishes for news and news threads.

. Assume that I did `last:500' yesterday.  Meanwhile there are 30 new
  entries.  Today I do `last:500' again.  Is there any reason why mew
  regets the already available 470 messages?  I suggest that mew
  checks whether we are still using the same news host, then the
  `last:xxx' command should be identical to `update' if the ranges
  overlap.

. I can do `t SPACE' to hide the leaves of a single thread.  What's
  the corresponding command to do that for the whole (virtual) thread
  buffer of the current news group?  This would make the
  representation much more compact.

. I've already reported that pressing `I' on a message which is marked
  with a `T', and which is viewed currently, doesn't refresh the
  message buffer: I have to press `v' twice, for example, to see the
  complete message.  This is a serious flaw IMHO.  Meanwhile I think
  that it's another flaw that you use the uppercase letter `I' for
  this command: It is *very* inconvenient to type.  What do you think
  of using `.' instead?

. Is it possible to have a different `mew-summary-form' for news?  For
  example, I would like to reduce the width of the `from' field,
  increasing the `subj' field.
