Combined with article caching this is quite a nice interface for maintaining links to interesting articles. eg. or . However, currently there doesn't seem to be a way to jump to a specified article in a named group. I have a hacked routine which sort of works, but has a few problems. (defun gnus-group-fetch-article (group article) "Start Gnus if necessary, enter GROUP and fetch article" (interactive "sGroup name: \nnArticle number: ") (or (and (boundp 'gnus-group-buffer) (get-buffer gnus-group-buffer)) (gnus)) (let ((gnus-large-newsgroup 1000)) (gnus-group-read-group t t group) (if article (gnus-summary-goto-article article) ))) This doesn't work if the group is already opened and if there are a large number of available articles to read. Am I missing an available routine ? If not, could this be added to the feature list ? -- John Porter Olivetti Research Lab, email: jporter@cam-orl.co.uk 24a Trumpington St, phone: +44-1223-343-344 Cambridge UK, CB2 1QA fax: +44-1223-313-542
