Meanwhile, to compensate for the inability to flag crossposted items, make
sure you have headers in sight and inspect them carefully before replying,
let alone *reading*. Tap 'i' to ignore threads that appear to go on forever
(as in the case with crossposted topics). It doesn't help in case of a flood
though.
Best wishes,
