So with respect to ordering the articles in a group, were you thinking that gnus would: - just keep a separate per-group list ordering the articles in a group. - default to order by "Date:" (or some new "X-Gnus-Arrival-Date:" header). - default to order by the unique article ID, presuming that the ID included the arrival date (a la maildir?). - something else. In particular, if when I enter a large group and gnus asks me how many articles, how would that article subset be chosen? I'd really like for it to always be the N most recent articles either by Date: or arrival date by default. --=20 Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org and @debian.org; previously @cs.utexas.edu GPG starting 2002-11-03 =3D 14DD 432F AE39 534D B592 F9A0 25C8 D377 8C7E 7= 3A4
