So I must select group subscription from leafnode instead of in Emacs *server*
buffer...

I currently use scoring (non-adaptive) with gnus-score-followup-thread in
message-sent-hook.

What is gnus-notifications? And where I can find it? I use Gnus v5.13 from
Emacs v23.4.1.

I would like to have capability to be notified if some one mail me to my IMAP
account or replay on my message in one of 70 groups from 5 NNTP server (Gmane,
Mozilla, Eternal September, rsdn.ru, sql.ru).

Note that I don't want to be notified if new message is not replay to me as I
read a lot groups!!

Does notifier pull new message with some periodicity (one time in a hour for
NNTP, and one time in 15 min for IMAP)?

If this done and that I wrote above Gnus become most powerful client in THE
world!!

I read docs for alpine and mutt, previously I use Thunderbird. They don't
allow such powerful scoring, grouping, highlighting, etc and tuning with
script (elisp in our case) language.
