A GNUS-specific poster would be very nice. There should be a user variable to decide whether you get a "no more unread messages -- hit SPC" message or whether it just goes on to the next group without stopping. GNUS Article mode should not display the Subject line, since it's already in the GNUS Subject buffer AND mode line. The GNUS Subject mode line should not include that mode string that display-time et al use. GNUS Article mode should only display the Newsgroups line if it contains multiple newsgroups. If it only contains one, it must be the current group, and this info is on the mode lines. I'm still using GNUS 3.8. I never got 3.10 working. Maybe I'll try it again. -- Roland McGrath roland@wheaties.ai.mit.edu, mit-eddie!wheaties.ai.mit.edu!roland

GNUS Article now displays the current group name, the range of "active" articles (read by NNTP recently) and the current article number. I wish there was a way to get the time string and Mail notice into the Article modeline. > The GNUS Subject mode line should not include that mode string that > display-time et al use. Agreed, and it doesn't. It gives as much of the Subject line as it can fit. > GNUS Article mode should only display the Newsgroups line if it contains > multiple newsgroups.

(insert (gnus-version)): You're running GNUS 3.10 with NNTP 3.7 A lot of these things have been remedied in 3.10 and Masanobu has indicated that even more neat/nicer/nifty things are in the next release.

This would have to be very, very careful to avoid locking conflicts
with inews. It's probably not a good idea, unless you desperately
want features you can't get with a new frontend to inews. What
features do you think are missing?
There should be a user variable to decide whether you get a "no
more unread messages -- hit SPC" message or whether it just goes on
to the next group without stopping.
I find the combination of
(setq gnus-novice-user nil)
(setq gnus-auto-select-next 'quietly)
(setq gnus-auto-select-same t)
to be quite pleasant. I used to use M-C-N and . a lot. Now, I live
with my thumb on the space bar most of the time and it does what I
want: following subject threads and moving painlessly to the next
group.
