Feature request: auto updating archive groups

Feature request: auto updating archive groups

[Shane Holder]

I use mail archiving, and I just went looking for some mail that I had
sent today only to find that it wasn't in my archive group.  The
reason was because I hadn't updated (M-g) that group since sending the
mail.  It seems that it should be possible for gnus to automatically
update a group if it sees that it has changed.

Also I find the fact that M-g (gnus-topic-get-new-news-this-topic)
goes to the next group rather annoying, I think that it should stay on
the group/topic it just updated.

MHO's.

	Yeah, that is rather annoying. :)

But Gnus doesn't know that the group has been updated.

Did you really doubt that there was a
`gnus-goto-next-group-when-activating' variable to control the
behavior of this command?  :-)

Cool.  So many variables to customize, so little time ... :-)
