BTW, it would be a quite worthwhile project for somebody with a bit of spare time at their hands to write such a browser that:
- is fast - knows about types and how to follow function pointers (e.g. that can trace foo->send() to the right set of "send"s) - allows navigation in views (e.g. "show all callers of xyzzy", then walk over the list of callers to pick the right one) - has some concept of additional attributes, e.g. "may sleep", "grabs a lock", etc. - can look inside macros
The navigation should be a bit like with mutt, when you go by arrival (o u) to check recent stuff, then jump to threads (o t), and finally end up checking if the author of a particular message has said more interesting things in the past (o f).
