However, it seems that the usual desktop themes (Tango, Gnome, Rodent,...) don't contain any email folder icons. The best you can get is using either file manager directory icons that don't really indicate new or ticked mail, or email icons that are more appropriate for marking single mails. Anyway, using that standard is still the way to go. But I wouldn't ship a theme with Gnus. Bye, Tassilo -- Sent from my Emacs
