Minibuffer messages: "Checking new news...done"

Minibuffer messages: "Checking new news...done"

[Karl Eichwalder]

When you press 'g' to get new news, you can watch the minibuffer saying:

    Checking new news...
    nnml: Reading incoming mail from file...
    Wrote /home/ke/Mail/mail/tux/626
    ...
    Wrote /home/ke/Mail/list/gutvol-d/1341
    nnml: Reading incoming mail (45 new)...done
    Checking new news...done

The last message will hide the more important info how many messages did
arrive (45 new).  At least, most of the time this info is more
important to me.  Is it possible to repeat this info:

    Checking new news...45 new message(s)...done

Another remark:

The "Wrote..." messages are interesting, but they will clutter the
*Messages* buffer; I recommend to stick them into a separate
*Gnus-Messages* buffer.  Yes, I know about *nnmail split history*:
often it isn't properly resetted/truncated and it doesn't seem to work
reliably when it is initialized at the start.

If you set `gnus-verbose' to 5 (with the current CVS), the latter
message won't be displayed.

They are message by `write-region', and I think the only thing that
can be done is to disable the messages altogether.  I kinda like
seeing them...

Thanks for the hint!

Maybe it's time to make Gnus log into a file and/or an own message
buffer?  I didn't check whether such a feature already exists by
default.
