Reading By Date
Notes offers a way to read all notes and responses written since
a certain date and time. This feature is designed so that you can
sequence through all new postings using a single key. For every
note with new responses, the base note is displayed first to
provide context. A keypress then skips to the first new response.
Pressing the same key repeatedly sequences through the rest of
the response chain, and then skips to the next note with new
responses.
In 1978, John Matheny implemented the Notes Sequencer, a great boon to habitual notes readers. The Sequencer lets you create a personal list of the notesfiles you read regularly, and automatically keeps track of the last time you read each one. Using the Sequencer, you can quickly scan all the notesfiles in your list for new postings with a minimum of key presses.
I appreciate comments, suggestions and bug-reports.
