Help - function to get/read new mails in a group

[jgrass]

Hi,

I'm trying to find a function in GNUS that will open a group, get all
new articles in that group and read the group. I'd like to use the
function with xbuffy/xbiff like commands.

I couldn't find such a function and here is what I came up with:

(defun gnus-visit-group (group)
  (gnus-get-unread-articles-in-group
   (gnus-get-info group) (gnus-active group) t)
  (gnus-fetch-group group)
  )

When I did:

(gnus-visit-group "nnfolder+jgrass:inbox")


It doesn't seem to do the trick. Any suggestions?

JG

I've always wanted a similar storage of information on retrieval from a 
mail server...  I thought about hacking gnus to save the headers into
a separate file so you could run something like mh's 'scan -file BLAH' 
on it and put the results in a buffer, but haven't ever had the time.

I'm extending NNML, a perl server that serves nnml folders as nntp.  My
plans such things as xbiff support; addition of articles from mailagent
or anything else that can speak on a socket; ssleay for validationg; and
transparent remote nnml-like storage, retrieval, and expiration.  Just
don't expect any kind of speed in its implementation due to
tuit-shortage.  I've extended it a little but nothing worth mention yet.
