I would also like to see (if possible), all bionet.relevant 
information crossposted in one posting, so that 
those of us who use "rn", will only see an article 
once rather than multiple times when reading 
various newsgroups.  
I must admit to some ignorance as to whether this is possible,
considering the mail software,
but if possible, I think it might be a good thing.
