M-g | * If I enter a group, point normally goes to the first unread message. | But if (say) there is only a single new message, that message becomes | the last line in the window, while point goes to the *middle* of the | window. When the list of ticked messages is long, it starts showing | the first old message, rather than the first new message. Ummm... I don't understand what you are describing. At least I have never seen the behaviour you describe. | * In general, the Gnus defaults for mail are quite clumsy. | For example, there should be a single command to delete (make | expirable) messages and move to the next. I ended up doing: Read messages are automatically marked as read. Unread messages I can mark deletable with 'd', which moves point to the next message. total-expire takes care of the rest for me. [...] | * In there any commend to re-number the messages in a mail folder? This is a Bad Idea for something that works from a news reader's perspective which remembers read messages by number. If you give a new message a number that has already been used, it will appear to have been read, and well, that is just plain wrong. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v0.9.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE3bu8pgl+vIlSVSNkRAuQdAJ94lqMCXVmdl08qCAQsPv1cwOgavgCeIGQz 13z8ztdTWRWpf9f4rc9nFbM= =+jwr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Rat \ Warning: pregnant women, the elderly, and Minion of Nathan - Nathan says Hi! \ children under 10 should avoid prolonged PGP Key: at a key server near you! \ exposure to Happy Fun Ball.
