Part of a message to Kathryn describing the latest update to the
CGI interface to the database of the unrev-ii mail archive. See
unrevdb and unrevprojectplan for more.

The CGI is at

So I sat down to look at the web interface to the unrev database
and realized that what makes it completely useless is that you
can't actually traverse a cluster. For example if you retrieve
all the message from me, and you read the first one, the only way
to read the next one is to go back to the list and click the next
one. This is cumbersome.

So I fixed it.

Now, if you retrieve a cluster, when you click on the read
button, you'll go to that message but the function of the "Next"
and "Prev" buttons is differnt. They direct you to the next or
previous message in the cluster. If you are at the top or the
bottom of the list, the corresponding next or prev button goes
away.

>From that page you can retrieve a clean url for that page, or
jump back to the page that contains the full set of messages
(because the back button might take many hops to get your there).

It seems to be working pretty well. I figured it was necessary to
allow easier review of chunks of messages.
