For NNTP, it has. One to run on your own[1] and one available publically[2]. As a mailinglist, I don't think so, but it's an idea I've personally been toying with. * Mark Stosberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2004-05-14 03:06]: > Also, you can the voting feature to help keep track of what > yo've read.

Noone gets enough votes for that: the maximum is 40/day. New users don't even get any at all, and once they clock up some XP they get 5. Not really an adequate bookmarking mechanism. The Newest Nodes page[3] helps though, and there's an XML ticker[4] you can use to keep track of things with a custom client of your own. The NNTP gateways mentioned above make use of exactly that.
