I realize that in the current implementation of CCC this is done by the browser
giving you a different color when it thinks you've read the link than when you
haven't, but it could be done by CCC instead -- it should be able to remember
which links you've requested and include HTML commands to mark them with a
different color or different font or something.

I would find such a feature extremely useful -- there are two different machines
I commonly read CCC from, and I'm currently on a third machine, so half the time
the browser's colorings are all wrong and I have to guess by time and date.
