And then I get sucked back into my mail, including often a lot of traffic that I don't need to see right then. Does anyone have a good recipe for having Gnus remember the last time I checked for new mail and to force me to jump through some hoop if it's been less than a configurable amount of time? My guess is that it wouldn't be horribly difficult to do this in elisp by rebinding g, but it's a bit beyond my personal skill. -- Russ Allbery (rra@stanford.edu)
