Hiya,

One more request: The ability to mark a news item as unread.

I use NNW/iPhone as supplemental to my NNW/Mac reading. I'll often run across items I want to read on the desktop; usually stuff I want to read more in depth on the big screen, or might spawn some research, or might want to (gasp!) copy/paste info to another app...

I know I could theoretically use clippings for this, but I use clippings for "I want to keep this forever" not necessarily "I just want to look at this one more time." I use the mark as unread on the desktop all the time for the same purpose.

Thanks!

Good thinking -- already on the to-do list.

I've come across a solution to this, which works on the NetNewsWire Mac application. I've made two clippings folder (one for 'favourites', one for 'review'), which allows me to keep some items permanently, and mark others for reading later. This, I believe, would work better than adding yet more buttons to the iPhone app, but of course we'd need the ability to add to different clippings folders (which I believe has already been requested, but if not, well I'm requesting it now I guess).
