Using gnus with gmail: almost there

[carlosjosepita@gmail.com]

Hi all, it's my first day with gnus and I'm pretty happy with the level
of integration I was able to achieve with gmail imap. Nevertheless,
there are a few quirks remaining and any help from the experienced users
here would be very much appreciated. Let's see:

1) I would like to include my sent emails in the threads where they
belong, like in the "conversation" view gmail offers. There is a
suggestion somewhere in the net to create a virtual group merging the
inbox and the sent mail groups, but this will only work for threads in
the inbox. Another option is to add a copy of any sent mail to the
current group, i.e. something like:

(setq gnus-message-archive-group
      (lambda (g) (concat "nnimap+gmail:" g)))

But this has some problems:
  1.i) I don't know how to do this *only* for the gmail server.
  1.ii) Obviously it doesn't work for emails sent from the webmail.

Nevertheless, being able to solve 1.i alone would be very good news for
me.

2) I would like to postpone a message directly to a remote group
(ideally, the gmail drafts folder). Currently I'm able to locally
postpone a message and then move it to the remote group. A way to
automate this is what I can't come with (or, better, to directly store
the draft in the remote group, which I'm afraid is not possible).

Well, I think that's all for the time being. Thank you in advance.

Cheers
