Feature #1: complemeting C-u 9 9 RET entering a group and examining the 99 most recent articles, a way to enter the group and examine articles falling within a particular set of dates RET (interactive) enters group and examines any article that falls within may be Most common datespecs probably would be: min-date = last time of gnus-group-get-new-news, max-date = now min-date = some hours/minutes/seconds ago, max-date = now min-date = some absolute time, max-date = now min-date = some absolute time, max-date = some absolute time which somewhat lend themselves to currying around the last choice. Feature #2: replacing guilty secretive use of UCB Mail by some hardcore Gnus users who do heavy splitting and often don't get around to some groups before their split-out messages are "stale", particularly when ill-thought-out Subject lines cause real Bcc-ed messages to be put into a "spam" newsgroup A one-shot semi-ephemeral newsgroup built out of $MAIL which allows for deletion in the gnus-summary-delete-article sense, and updating the Status: headers in the way UCB Mail does. No group state is retained. Upon quitting the group, the group disappears from the *Group* buffer. Use of this semi-ephemeral group should lock out gnus-group-get-new-news and vice-versa. This would be used to read *all* new mail since last gnus-group-get-new-news call, "spam" and all, rather than only that split into a specific group. Sean.
