    • Filter on # of crossposted groups
    • Regex filtering
    • Spam filtering for news
    • Biff notification for news
    • Crosspost non-suckage!
    • NNTP connection persistence
    • Implement some of RFC 3977 and RFC 977
  • Web<->Mailnews integration:
    • Generic webmail
    • Web forums like news ?
    • (Probably requires some account manager overhaul)
  • RSS:
    • Track down and fix problem with downloading messages
    • Port to SM?
    • Betterify
  • Other, generic TB:
    • Automagic thread recreation
    • Easy pluggability
    • Async UI!!!!!!
  • Compliance (i.e., what I may never work on):
    • display: run-in
    • @page
