Hi, there,

When I reopened the old articles in a scored group accidentally or
for test purpose, I'd like to mark it old (ancient) to prevent it
being adaptive scored (I think few people will like to score on
`gnus-ancient-mark', might be wrong?).  Maybe I'm too paranoid, think
if I've set `gnus-decay-scores' to `t'.  Does some others think such a
new command be handy so it can be merged into pgnus later?  Or have I
overlooked some features already in Gnus?

The attached code is shamelessly stolen from
`gnus-summary-mark-as-dormant' or `gnus-summary-mark-as-expirable', just
change a little.  I personally bind it to key `M O' now.

;; begin
(defun gnus-summary-mark-as-ancient (n)
  "Mark N articles forward as ancient.
If N is negative, mark backward instead.  The difference between N and
the actual number of articles marked is returned."
  (interactive "p")
  (gnus-summary-mark-forward n gnus-ancient-mark))
;; end
