Thanks, I like hearing about how people are using these flexible tools. So I think tick is ! (bang). Then the item stays in the [TODO] thread until it is completed, at which point the tick is removed, and the item can expire. Does the !(bang) mark all of the way back to the IMAP server, not just in gnus? Is that right? Then do you expire(expunge) it from the IMAP server as well, or just from everyone's gnus? Do you preserve it on the server as a record of what has been done? I haven't shared IMAP folders before, but I use IMAP/nnimap. I guess I could experiment right now... Well, I'll send this post first. Chris
