It is unread. Then Gnus will think it is read. True, though for my own use, now that I think about it, I'd probably want at least some of the marks to follow the article, though I realize there are potentially sticky issues here. Actually, I might just prefer to have gnus-summary-move-marking-as and gnus-summary-copy-marking-as. With each you would invoke the function, it would expect a keypress to indicate the mark (?, u, U, d, etc.) and then it would process the article(s). You could possibly also have a gnus-default-group-added-article-mark that would be initially set to " ". It'd also be nice to have the ability to say "delete this article from the current group" *and* "delete this article from all groups". Come to think of it we may already have that, but I'd prefer it were keyed on a unique ID we control, rather than one provided from the outside. > But it ought to be possible to tweak Gnus so that it just splits the > read sequence from 1-100 into 1-41,43-100. > > Maybe it is even possible using the backend interface: the backend > could tell Gnus the new list 1-41,43-100 of read articles. I thought one of the problems would still be that if you renumber articles, some Gnus features like agent? perhaps, get very unhappy (i.e. break). They'd have to be keyed on the global article unique ID (integer or whatever) to fix that. --=20 Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org and @debian.org; previously @cs.utexas.edu GPG starting 2002-11-03 =3D 14DD 432F AE39 534D B592 F9A0 25C8 D377 8C7E 7= 3A4
