Well, I was going to go with the plain but simple "once you've read it, delete it" approach, but some people didn't like that. Next draft will propose being able to append .read to a filename to mark it read without deleting it. Either way, it's just a case of looking for ????-??-??-*.??.txt, chopping off the .??.txt, removing duplicates and counting. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Look! Shiny things!)
