Is there a version of this that pops up a little buffer or so only if there
is new mail?

Sorry. Didn't mean to sound so facetious.

If you visit http://www.comsecmilnavpac.net/elisp/
now there's a new version that does what you ask. 

You can have the filter history only pop up a window if there's new
mail by setting gnus-filter-history-popup to true.

I've only tested it with XEmacs 21.4, but I don't think anything
should be amiss with Emacs or older versions of XEmacs.

Excellent!

However. In the history section you write that 

;; Added ability to only pop up if there's new mail. Check
;; gnus-fitler-history-popup for more.

Fitler, Gitler, Hitler...

I haven't used filterhist for some time. However,
(add-hook 'gnus-group-mode-hook 'gnus-filter-history)
doesn't quite seem to work. When I start Gnus and there is new mail the
buffer pops up. However Gnus does not seem to continue loading.

Perhaps I should use a hook that is called at a later point during loading?a

I type fast, but I don't proofread too good. :-)

Hmmm. That's peculiar. I have a *lot* of cruft in my config
files. Maybe something else is keeping it going for me. Hmmm...  Try
using

(add-hook 'nnmail-post-get-new-mail-hook  'gnus-filter-history)

instead. That actually seems to make more sense to me now than the old
way. I don't know how I missed that hook before. But if that's still
causing it to hang, please let me know. I'm updating the info in the
file (and on the web page.)

No change.

Also, I seem to have to check for new mail twice when there is new mail:
once to get the mail buffer, once to actually fetch the mail.

Creepy. I'll look at it some more tonight and see what I can see.
