Is there a way to indicate that there are unread messages > in Gnus ? Hi, people. I'm not sure if this addresses your question, but there is a mechanism in Gnus to force the display of `%' in the Group buffer next to all groups which received messages and which you did not visit yet. Building on this, I customized the Topics mode to force the display of normally hidden groups, as long as they have that `%' mark. I also added the `%' command, both in the Group buffer and in the Summary buffer, that automatically selects and visits the next group which has such a `%' mark (and also gets new mail before doing so, if any arrived in the meantime). These things make Gnus, as a mail reader, significantly more useful for me, especially I also managed to sort most summaries with more recent articles first. I have many groups, many of which are hidden, and mail gets split a bit everywhere when received. I like to (at least try to) browse all incoming mail once, not too long after its receipt. P.S. - I thought I posted all this code here (but maybe a while ago...). Or maybe I sent it to Lars only? It might be. In any case, Lars told me that he wants to revisit, rethink and refresh this area of Gnus. -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard
