[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1243 bytes --]

When I enter groups larger than gnus-large-newsgroup, gnus prompts me
for a number. For instance, when I open my mail inbox to review the last
couple of emails I got, I usually always answer "100", which I'm tired
of doing. From what I've seen, there's no simple way to hook into the
code. The only message on the mailing list I found relating to this is
this, with pretty much the same conclusion:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/10918
(Wow, 1997. I didn't even have a computer :))

I thought there'd be greater demand for this, emacs users seeming to
cringe at the idea of typing anything unnecessary ;)

So here's a patch with a new setting, gnus-large-newsgroup-action, that
defines what to do when entering a large group. However, it still
doesn't cater to the case where you'd temporarily need to see older
messages, which I've settled with an ugly

(define-key gnus-group-mode-map (kbd "<C-return>")
  (lambda () (interactive) (let ((gnus-large-newsgroup-action 'query))
  (gnus-group-select-group))))

in my .gnus.

Anyone see a better way of handling this? A nice way out would be some
kind of "P" on steroids, where you could specify how many more messages
you want. Is there something like that already?

Antoine

Maybe this is a bug or a misconfiguration. I'm only asked for the number
of article headers to display if the number of *unseen* articles is
greater than gnus-large-newsgroup, so it doesn't happen frequently.

You also get asked if there are *no* unseen articles; in this case, it
asks to determine how many of the /seen/ articles you want to see again.

Yes, you are right; I forgot I have marked articles in most of my groups.

Right, this is the case I'm concerned with.

I agree that the prompting when entering groups where all the articles
are unread is less than optimal, so I think we should try to find a way
to make it better without needing customisation.

Today, it defaults to using the number of (read) articles in the group.
How about if we just change the default to be, say, 100 -- I think just
reading the last few messages is what most people want, anyway.

So the typical group entry would be `RET RET', which I don't think is
very strenuous.

To get the old default (i.e., the total number of articles in the
group), we could put that number on `M-p', so `RET M-p RET' would give
you the old behaviour.

And, of course, you'd still be able to type in whatever number you want
to.

Thoughts?

That's a much better idea than mine. Why not just use
gnus-large-newsgroup as default though? That way it would have a
well-defined semantics from the user point of view: it's the maximum
number of messages you're willing to display in a summary buffer.

The prompt could look like "How many messages? (default
gnus-large-newsgroup, available COUNT)", so the user could still see how
many messages there are.

Would this do? I'm not too sure about
gnus-parameter-large-newsgroup-initial, which was used in a really weird
way before, so I basically set it to override the default value in the
prompt. Does anyone even use this, anyway? It seems weird to have a
group-specific setting that isn't customizable in the first place.

I didn't touch the score bit, which doesn't have default values for some
reason.

I also took the liberty to use gnus-group-real-name in order to get
prettier prompts (gmane.emacs.gnus.general instead of nttp+news.etc)

Also, the code really should use read-number, but it's not flexible
enough (it appends a "(Default %d)" to the prompt). Maybe read-number
should have an optional arg not to add it to the prompt?

I tweaked it a bit.  I found it kinda annoying having to type a number
when entering a group with 300 unread messages, so I reverted it back to
the old behaviour unless you're entering a group with only read messages.

Makes sense, although the discrepancy might confuse users. What about
groups with a few ticked messages? Will that trigger the old code?

Sorry, my question was imprecise: I meant using C-u RET on a group with
a few ticked messages and lots of read ones: it seems wrong that the
code should behave differently using C-u RET on a group with
unread/ticked messages and using RET on the same group without any
unread/ticked messages.

Also, only-read-p seems like an odd variable name, since we never see
only read messages. Shouldn't it be also-read-p, or (not only-unread-p)?

I'll test it tomorrow and try and think about a nice non-confusing
prompt, which I'm not sure exists :)

I think it behaves the same way with `C-u RET' on a group with ticked
messages as `RET' behaves on a group with only read messages.  I think.

Yeah, I checked it out today and it works very nicely.

I was concerned that the two different prompts might confuse people, but
presumably it now does the right thing most of the time, so that
manually specifying the number of messages you want should be
unnecessary under regular usage.
