Makes sense.  I was considering using YUI to make a right-click menu, but I
like this method more, because it doesn't rely on Javascript and should even
work in (gasp) lynx.  One thing to keep in mind is that there probably can't
be, and shouldn't be, any guarantee on the order in which the Reruns/Marks
happen.  Version 1.34 also adds the ability  to Hold a job, which would also
be in the list, along with "Release".

These sound good, too.  Let me think about how to implement them and
allowing for flexibility and ease of use.  I'll probably put them in v1.35
and not delay releasing 1.34 because 1.34 has a minor bug fix.

If you're willing/able to beta-test 1.35 when I have it ready, please let me
know.

Thanks,
