Subject: automatic group compaction?
Date: Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:40:47 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r4qidt28.fsf@yun.yagibdah.de> (raw)

Hi,

is there something like automatic group compaction? I'd like to have
that at least on some groups ... Would it be possible to create a
daemon-handler to do it --- and if so, could I have that running like
once weekly or once monthly or once every 6 months (not because such
long intervals are required but because it doesn't make much sense to do
the compaction more frequently)?

Daemon-handlers seem to depend on a continually running gnus and
probably won't run weekly or monthly if I quit gnus before a week or
a month has expired.


Hm perhaps, and if knew how to do that, I could write a function in
elisp that checks time intervals and triggers the compaction and use a
hook to call it when leaving a group?

Any ideas? Or someone has already done it? Maybe worth a feature
request?
