Things I'd like to see in GNUS: * A user variable to select whether articles are marked as read when you first see them, or when you mark them as read (via d, n, k, or c). * A user variable to select whether or not you are given a "no more articles" message and required to hit a key before moving to the next group. * When a k (kill) command marks all the articles in the group as read, it should move on to the next group, just like hitting n when there are no more articles. -- Roland McGrath roland@wheaties.ai.mit.edu, mit-eddie!wheaties.ai.mit.edu!roland

What I would really like to see is the ability to set attributes defining different desired behaviour for different newsgroups. In particular, there are some newsgroups which I only scan for interesting new subject lines but rarely read. I would like to have these always come up as a list of subject lines (a la '=') when I move into them via 'n' from the previous group. I am sure there are many newsgroup sensitive features that would be useful, so maybe what's needed is a generalized hook for user customization which can depend on the newsgroup.

In GNUS 3.10, marking by selection is customizable using gnus-Mark-article-hook. In this case, set the variable to nil. * A user variable to select whether or not you are given a "no more articles" message and required to hit a key before moving to the next group. In GNUS 3.10, If variable gnus-auto-select-next is set to symbol `quietly', GNUS will not confirm like that. * When a k (kill) command marks all the articles in the group as read, it should move on to the next group, just like hitting n when there are no more articles. Kill commands of GNUS 3.10 do so. Masanobu UMEDA umerin@flab.flab.Fujitsu.JUNET umerin%flab.flab.Fujitsu.JUNET@uunet.uu.NET

You can use gnus-Select-group-hook for this purpose. In particular, there are some newsgroups which I only scan for interesting new subject lines but rarely read. I would like to have these always come up as a list of subject lines (a la '=') when I move into them via 'n' from the previous group. Set variable gnus-auto-select-first to nil depending on newsgroups in gnus-Select-group-hook. It is also possible to use gnus-Apply-kill-hook or to put such stuffs in KILL file. gnus-Select-group-hook is called before creating Subject mode buffer, and gnus-Apply-kill-hook is called after creating the buffer. That's the difference. Masanobu UMEDA umerin@flab.flab.Fujitsu.JUNET umerin%flab.flab.Fujitsu.JUNET@uunet.uu.NET
