Seen/Unseen

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen]

I've now implemented the seen-article thing.  It works as follows:

1) If you enter a group that has no `seen' marks, everything is marked
   as normal.

2) If you enter a group with `seen' marks, all the unseen articles get
   a secondary `gnus-unseen-mark' set on them.  I've defaulted that to
   ".", since that's a pretty unobtrusive character.

And that's that, really.  Although I've forgotten to document this.
Fixing now...

Did you do anything about the N mark that Simon implemented for
nnimap?  Well, I'll see which mark I see, or whether I see both...

I left the nnimap N mark in there, and it has precedence over the
unseen mark.  I don't know whether it makes sense to have the N mark,
since it doesn't do much more than the unseen mark...

I think `seen' in gnus-article-mark-lists should be replaced with
`unseen'.  The variables, like gnus-newsgroup-marked and it friends,
are a list of article numbers, but gnus-newsgroup-seen is a list of
ranges, which makes gnus-update-missing-marks barf.

Yes...  But I think the implementation in `gnus-update-missing-marks'
is buggy anyway -- for instance, it doesn't do the right thing with
the non-list marks, like `bookmark', for instance.  So I've now fixed
the implementation and added a helper function and a new variable to
say what the type of the mark list is.
