Yes, actually I do some of the time at least. The way I treat many of my folders is that I have display set to !expired, and hence I see all the old messages. unread in these folders really means "needs a response", and read really means "kept around for informational purposes, or things that I need to look at but aren't crucial". It's a way of prioritizing, if you want to look at it another way. ticked = high, unread = medium, read = low. My work boxes, inboxes, etc are this way and has forced expiry on it. The problem is that when I want to go offline I actually do want unread stuff to, but I certainly don't want the read mark to go away. -- "The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it." -- Terry Pratchett ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

I sometimes need to refer to old (already read) messages. So I would like the Agent to download all messages. kai -- ~/.signature is: umop ap!sdn (Frank Nobis) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

IE, if you want to read mail in this fashion, start with this .gnus and if you want this fashion, start with this other one. -- "The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it." -- Terry Pratchett ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

But Lars also wants setup wizards. Maybe a good first approach is to define Customize groups which contain the variables you need for a specific scenario. kai -- ~/.signature is: umop ap!sdn (Frank Nobis) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
