Hello.

I have some expectancies to create client software (“offline reader”)  
for  
ruby-talk. It can be potentially much more usable than “standard” email  
client.

So, the question is: is there some public-available APIs helpful for the  
task? Of course, I can use “dumb” approach of parsing html-s (like in  
[http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/35982](http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/35982)), but  
it  
seems to be not very elegant (and is limited to read-only).

Thanks.

Victor.

Thanks. Seems to be just what I’ve want.
