mark for forwarded messages.

mark for forwarded messages.

[Maciej Matysiak]

hi,

something i'm wondering at from time to time: why the mark for forwarded
messages is 'O' instead of, let's say, more intuitive 'F'? :) i know,
only lars knows the answer ;) can this be changed without digging into
sources?

`O' means that the message has been read in a previous session.  I
think there is no special mark for forwarded messages.  Is there?

I think the mnemonic here is that `S O m' forwards, so "O" is the
natural forward mark.  Right?  Right?

Oh, well.

I've now changed it to "F".

Er, hello?

Soup marks are in the first column, which already uses O for ancient
articles.  So I've kept F for souped articles, and use F in the second
column for forwarded articles.  Makes perfect sense to me.

Oh, I knew I had a reason.  "F" is already taken for "souped
article".  And the reason that that's "F" is that "S" was already
taken.  (By saved articles, which actually makes some sense.)

I've just switched F<->O.

Well, I customized it myself before. Apropos for 'gnus-.*-mark$' give
all the variables one can play with.
