I was going to have a per-group configurable list of prohibited marks; these would be screened out with -request-update-mark. The particular use I had in mind was protecting myself from accidentally marking articles as expirable in certain groups; for this use, it wouldn't be sufficient to just skip storing the marks. If this were to be done, it ought to go in Gnus proper, not backends, but I was going to do it as a proof-of-concept sort of thing, like nnmaildir's always-marks and never-marks. paul
