Subject: get new mail only

Howdy-

I have umpteen little mail groups.  I find that gnus-group-get-new-news
is very slow when I `2 g' to just get my mail.  I realized that it is
because it is looking at all my level 2 groups.

I decided to write a function that would get mail directly, and then
gnus-group-get-new-news-this-group all the groups that actually have new
mail.

Anyway, here is the function (and my preferred key binding).  It assumes
that all your interesting groups are nnml.  I guess I could have had it
iterate through gnus-secondary-select-methods to do everything right,
but since I only use nnml, I didn't really feel the desire.  Sue me.

(defun gnus-group-get-new-nnml ()
  "Get new nnml mail only."
  (interactive)
  (let ((gnus-group-new-mail-list nil)
	(nnml-prepare-save-mail-hook
	 (cons '(lambda ()
		  (setq gnus-group-new-mail-list
			(union gnus-group-new-mail-list
			       (mapcar 'car group-art))))
	       nnml-prepare-save-mail-hook)))
    (nnml-request-scan)
    (mapcar 'gnus-get-new-news-in-group
	    (mapcar '(lambda (group)
		       (concat "nnml:" group))
		    gnus-group-new-mail-list))
    (when gnus-goto-next-group-when-activating
      (gnus-group-next-unread-group 1 t))
    (gnus-summary-position-point)
    gnus-group-new-mail-list))

(define-key gnus-group-mode-map [(meta control g)] 'gnus-group-get-new-nnml)
