When a new message comes in that matches gnus' concept of being in the same thread, it sometimes remains unnoticed for weeks before I go through pages and pages of messages that are either ticked or not marked at all and notice a difference in the pattern I'm used it. After I played a bit with gmail, I found it nice that, whenever a new message was added to a thread (or whatever gmail calls it, I forget), it would bring the entire group to my attention. I'd love if gnus would do the same. Is anything like this already implemented in current gnus? If not, is it in anyone else's plans? Failing that, would others find this useful, i.e., should I plan on contributing it once I implement it? -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org}
