Formatting summary line of '#' marked messages

Formatting summary line of '#' marked messages

As long as I'm asking for clues, I've been wanting to change the
formatting of lines marked with '#' for a while now. I'd like to give
them a more distinctive face since I most often use them for marking a
bunch of spam to kill.

Alas, I got hopelessly lost attempting to decipher the various summary
mode line variables.

Clue, please?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm

Currently there seems to be no option for that.  Here is a
workaround instead:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(eval-after-load "gnus-sum"
  '(add-hook 'gnus-summary-update-hook
	     (lambda nil
	       (if (memq (gnus-summary-article-number)
			 gnus-newsgroup-processable)
		   (let ((inhibit-read-only t))
		     (put-text-property
		      (point-at-bol) (point-at-eol)
		      'face 'gnus-summary-high-read))))
	     'append))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I failed to notice Gnus offers the means just for that purpose.

,----
| `gnus-summary-highlight'
|      Summary lines are highlighted according to this variable, which is
|      a list where the elements are of the format `(FORM . FACE)'.  If
|      you would, for instance, like ticked articles to be italic and
|      high-scored articles to be bold, you could set this variable to
|      something like
|           (((eq mark gnus-ticked-mark) . italic)
|            ((> score default) . bold))
|      As you may have guessed, if FORM returns a non-`nil' value, FACE
|      will be applied to the line.
`----

The following snippet makes Gnus highlight # marked summary lines.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(eval-after-load "gnus-sum"
  '(add-to-list
    'gnus-summary-highlight
    '((memq article gnus-newsgroup-processable)
      . gnus-summary-high-read)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

You can use any other faces other than `gnus-summary-high-read'
as you like.  Or should we provide the `gnus-summary-processable'
face and make `gnus-summary-high-read' have it by default?
