No, nn performs the auto-selection on a per-group basis immediately before it is going to present that group to the user. Consenquently, it does not know which groups have auto-selected articles in them in advance. On the other hand, automatically skipping groups without auto-selected articles in them would be possible (future feature), but how should this work "logically"? >....

When you are presented with the first menu page of the group, just hit "X". That will start reading of the (auto-)selected articles immediately, and skip all non-selected articles. When you have read the (auto-)selected articles, nn will mark the group as read, and continue with the next group. If no articles were auto-selected, "X" will simply mark the group as read and continue with the next group. >A related question is whether there is a way to rearrange the presentation >sequence *while reading*. I know, ^Z vi ~/.nn/rc etc. works, ... No. And the "method" you indicate will not work either; the order of groups is not dependent on the rc file, only the "sequence" in the init file. And the init file is only read on start-up, so you can't even suspend nn, edit init, and then continue. However, this is one of the planned features of 6.4. -- Kim F.
