Nuntius 1.2 - Nuntius is a "threaded" news reader. This means that it sorts articles into threads. What's a thread? A thread is an article and all the followups (responses or modifications) to it. A simple example of a thread is an article with the question "What's the sum of 2 and 2?", and it's response, "Re- What's the sum of 2 and 2?". Followups are designated by two methods. (1) the phrase "Re-", meaning "regarding" or "response to" is placed in the subject of the followup. (2) A header is added to the followup with a reference to the original (parent) article. Not every newsreader uses both methods (Nuntius does). Nuntius sorts by grouping articles which share references. Comes with a FAQ about Nuntius.
