go to the bottom line when entering a group with all read articles

[jidanni]

How can I... no never mind... I wish I

could have guns go to the bottom line when it enters a group full of
already read articles, not the top.

Why can't there be a variable for this? I recall we recently discussed
it. But let's discuss it again.

When you think about it, it should really be the default.

Enter the group with 48/50 read.
Then again with 49/50 read.
Then again with 50/50 read.
Whammo, it flies back to the top.

Isn't there it already?

(setq gnus-auto-select-subject
      (lambda nil
	(unless (gnus-summary-first-unseen-or-unread-subject)
	  (goto-char (point-max))
	  (forward-line -1)
	  (gnus-summary-position-point))))

OK, I figured out how to do what I want.
It is to make up gnus' "many 'first', lack of 'last'" problem.

(defun jidanni-gnus-summary-first-unseen-or-last-subject ()
  "Place the point on the subject line of the first unseen article.
If all article have been seen, on the subject line of the last article."
  (interactive)
  (prog1
      (unless
	  (when (gnus-summary-first-subject nil nil t)
	    (gnus-summary-show-thread)
	    (gnus-summary-first-subject nil nil t))
	(goto-char (point-max))
	(forward-line -1))
    (gnus-summary-position-point)))
(setq gnus-auto-select-subject 'jidanni-gnus-summary-first-unseen-or-last-subject)

Awesome; I stole your code!  I agree with you that it should be the default.
