I have a group name (i.e. "nnimap+Foo:bar.baz") and a message-id. Now I want to open a summary buffer which contains the article with that message-id, and the article should be displayed in an article buffer. The message-id is optional. If none is given only the group's summary should be shown. In that case the "how many articles" question is ok, of course. > Maybe also gnus-group-quick-select-group and Nice (because it's quick), but it has the same problem as the "slow" version. > gnus-group-select-group-ephemerally are useful. No, that one's not good. The user should be able to modify the linked article. (Maybe someone makes "delete that message on christmas" links.) Bye, Tassilo
