Java E-Mail Newsgroup Digest Reader 1.01

Java E-Mail Newsgroup Digest Reader is a smart program that helps you to manage e-mail digests from newsgroups.
You may find the program to be very useful if you belong to several e-mail news groups.
Most of these groups allow "digesting" of their output. You get all the news group messages at once, in one huge file. The problem is trying to check each message for interest, and deleting those that are of no interest.
This program shows all message "Subject:" lines and lets you selectively view the contents, and then keep only those messages of interest.
The program can sort the "subject" headers by date, subject, original order, or can thread subjects (by removal of the "re:" entries).
The program offers three ways of separating out the individual articles from the bulk news digest:
- The program can be "trained" to recognize the lines of text used to separate each article. Most newsgroup digest programs place some marker between the articles. You can place the program in "train" mode and tell it which contiguous lines constitute the separator.
At the same time, you also tell the program to look for a particular string near the start of the news digest in order to "auto-recognize" the newgroup and use the appropriate separator template. Once the program is "trained", you should only have to open a new file in "auto-recognize" mode and the program should be able to determine which template to use and separate out the messages.
- The program can try to separate articles by using the e-mail headers only, particularly looking for "Subject:" and "Date:" headers. This method is not particularly reliable. This method was used by the previous versions of the program.
- Once the program is "trained" (see item 1 above) you can force a newsgroup digest to be separated using a particular template. This option bypasses the "auto-recognize" mode.
System requirements:
- This program requires Java of at least level 1.2 (uses Swing).
