Re: The chronoilogicallly ordered bug pages

[Raul Miller <rdm@test.legislate.com>]

Please note that with a fairly minor change the reader could choose
the order in which bugs are displayed.

Example implementation: each bug gets a directory (e.g. named 11234).
Each message is stored in that directory with a file name which is
the time of the message expressed as a decimal number.  Chronological
display would be achieved with a cgi-bin program which did cat *,
while reverse chronological display would be achieved with a cgi-bin
program which did xargs cat <.reverse.  The file which lists contents
in reverse order would be updated at message reception time.

Other implementations are possible. [e.g. store as a flat file, use perl
to parse on ^From lines and reverse order from default for those who
desire it.]
