Subject: TODO suggestion: Cancel <number of articles> limit
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 1998 03:21:26 +0100 (MET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <HBF.980316pyu9@bombur2.uio.no> (raw)
Once in a while, I wish for a command to cancel the <number of articles>
limit which is taken from the prefix argument when the group is entered.
It should not hide old articles, but it would make `/ D' and `/ *'
display all dormant / cached articles instead those inside the <number
of articles> limit. It would have to show all ticked articles, since
there is no `gnus-summary-limit-include-ticked' command. I don't care
if what it does about unread articles that were excluded by the old
limit; my interest is in the case when I'm looking at old articles.
What do people use that limit for, anyway? It's good when I don't want
Gnus to show all the *unread* articles, but it's never what I want when
I use it to read recent *old* articles.
I thought of this because of the recent `show dormants' thread --
The TODO list contains the item
* command to display all dormant articles.
which I think is due to me. Please erase that item and replace it with
my suggestion above; then `/ D' can be used to dispaly all dormants.
