See size2bucket: there's a separate list for each power of 2 (some
lists might be empty if there are no blocks of that size; in fact,
most of them are empty most of the time).

The ability to read the source and understand the algorithms is a
necessary part of your programming skills, so you should practice it
as often as you can ;-)

See the `X-Mailer' header. I work on several wildly different
machines, depending on where I am at any given time, and use whatever
software can be feasibly installed on each system. I also read the
news group via DJ's email gateway (can't afford all that spam, and
can't rely on broken news feeds that drop messages). So it's a
mailing list for me, not a news group, and the `References' headers
are not mandatory in maling lists.
Doesn't your news reader have an option to auto-thread by Subject? If
not, maybe toss it and use another one ;-)
