If I get new mail, in 100% of the case I want to enter to group, limited
only to those articles that are new and mark them D, E, or write
immediate replies.
Would you think this would be a nice addition to Gnus?
I have changed function gnus-topic-read-group to do this, or more
precisely, it has an top-level umbrealla function to determine how
group should be entered.

Unless I'm missing something, it's already there. When I enter a
group, I only see new articles. I have to C-u = or C-u RET to see the
rest. Did you or I change something from the default? Am I
misunderstanding your question?

Since displaying only unread is the default, I'll assume, by `new' you
mean messages that are newer than other unread that were there for a while.
That sounds a bit complicated and somewhat hard to see the utility of it.

Here is what I think is being asked for, and what I would
like to see.
Feature #1: complemeting C-u 9 9 RET entering a group and
examining the 99 most recent articles, a way
to enter the group and examine articles
falling within a particular set of dates
<somekeystroke> <datespec> RET
(interactive) enters group and examines any article that falls within <datespec>
<datespec> may be <mindate> <maxdate>
Most common datespecs probably would be:
min-date = last time of gnus-group-get-new-news, max-date = now
min-date = some hours/minutes/seconds ago, max-date = now
min-date = some absolute time, max-date = now
min-date = some absolute time, max-date = some absolute time
which somewhat lend themselves to currying around the last choice.
Feature #2: replacing guilty secretive use of UCB Mail by
some hardcore Gnus users who do heavy
splitting and often don't get around to some
groups before their split-out messages are
"stale", particularly when ill-thought-out
Subject lines cause real Bcc-ed messages to
be put into a "spam" newsgroup
A one-shot semi-ephemeral newsgroup built out of $MAIL
which allows for deletion in the
gnus-summary-delete-article sense, and updating the
Status: headers in the way UCB Mail does.
No group state is retained. Upon quitting the group, the
group disappears from the *Group* buffer.
Use of this semi-ephemeral group should lock out
gnus-group-get-new-news and vice-versa.
This would be used to read *all* new mail since last
gnus-group-get-new-news call, "spam" and all, rather than
only that split into a specific group.
Sean.

I mean completely new. The newly arrived messages only.
