Whether or not they're actually scanned at startup I don't mind (or if they are set by default to a higher subscription level, etc), but it would be great just not to have the little asterisk where the unread count is, which always screams to me "your Gnus is broken!" Also: the `gnus-group-line-format' can't be set per-server or per-group, can it? I'd really like to have nnselect groups show the total message count, not the unread count. Nine times out of ten I use these groups for quick reference/access, meaning the messages are pretty much always read. Total message count would be more useful, but if this variable can only have one global value... One other related idea: displaying select groups as nnselect: isn't all that helpful -- or at least, it could be more helpful. What about having an optional nnselect-label group parameter, which would be used as an alternate in the group format line, if present? Search groups could be labeled "search:", I'd use "gnorb:" for Gnorb groups, etc. Just some ideas. It's really nice seeing this come together. E
