[??] gnus-demon-scan-mail

[Colin Rafferty]

The function `gnus-demon-scan-mail' does good stuff.  However, it does
not update the article counts in my *Group* buffer.  Short of doing a
funky defadvice around the function, is there anything I can do to get
it to update *Group*?

The new function `gnus-demon-scan-news' will do a more complete
rescan.

Way cool!  But it would be nice if there were a way to specify a group
level for it.  That way I could get the best of both worlds - a demon
that only scans mail groups *and* (gotta check out this
gnus-article-emphasize thingie :-) updates the *Group* buffer.

That's no problem -- just use the function in gnus-demon.el as a
template and write your own.   Uhm -- here it is:

(defun gnus-demon-scan-news ()
  (save-window-excursion
    (when (gnus-alive-p)
      (save-excursion
	(set-buffer gnus-group-buffer)
	(gnus-group-get-new-news 4)))))
                     
                                 ^ level
