Subject: read/unread counts of a group
Date: Sun, 02 Jan 2011 19:56:41 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fwtb16dy.fsf@savara.sat.thregr.org> (raw)
Hi everyone. Can somebody explain the format of (gnus-info-read group)?
it seems that getting the current article count of a group is
messy. Right now, I have to do:
(let* ( (name (gnus-info-group g))
(read (or
(and (listp (car (gnus-info-read g)))
(cdar (gnus-info-read g)))
(cdr (gnus-info-read g))))
(unread (gnus-group-unread name)) )
(when (and (numberp read) (numberp unread))
(+ read unread)))
to support all possible outputs of `gnus-info-read', then sum it to
(gnus-group-unread name) to get the total number of articles.
I wrote a little library to display popup notifications for new
messages:

I need the current article count to see if new messages were received
after the last check.
Thanks for any clarification.
