But if you do not want to auto-expire certain groups (like I do not like to auto-expire my inbox), then I agree with Per that the most common command when reading mail is (generalizing slightly :-) "do something with this message and go to the next one" where in gnus, do-something is either a mark of some kind, or moving the article. Moving does go to the next unread message; marking does not. It would be nice if all mark commands had a twin that moves to the next or previous (un)read article (I think Kai mentioned this a few days ago), or a variable gnus-mark-commands-should-move with possible values nil, forward, forward-unread, backward, backward-unread Jaap-Henk P.S.: Did posting styles change? Yesterday I configured it for pgnus 0.84 and it worked fine, then I upgraded to pgnus 0.88 (to fix the X-Face problem) and now it doesn't work anymore... -- Jaap-Henk Hoepman | Come sail your ships around me Dept. of Computer Science | And burn these bridges down University of Twente | Nick Cave - "Ship Song" Email: hoepman@cs.utwente.nl === WWW: www.cs.utwente.nl/~hoepman Phone: +31 53 4893795 === Secr: +31 53 4893770 === Fax: +31 53 4894590 PGP ID: 0xF52E26DD Fingerprint: 1AED DDEB C7F1 DBB3 0556 4732 4217 ABEF
