Feature request, questions

[St. Suika Roberts]

The big feature request:  nnfolder+NOV ^_^
If you want I'll kludge it together, but I am really not sure if that
woulnd't be more work for you ^_^

The questions are about thread-sort-by-date and why I end up with my
sparse threads for a number of old threads with only ticked articles
at the end of the summary instead of further up where the dates of the
first article would seem to indicate that they should be.  Not too
obnoxous, but it makes one wonder.  (This shows up in my mail groups,
which I have set to sort-by-date only)

Thank you,
	Suika

I'm not sure there's all that much to be gained by generating NOV
files for nnfolder folders, really...

Yes, it's not nice, but it's a tricky problem.

Only if you compress them.  I hack my source, keeping my mail folders
compressed (no problems with auto-mode-alist if all of one's mail
folders end in .gz ^_^ )  due to this the slight loss from generating
NOV files is more than compensated for by not having to gunzip all of
my mail folders at every startup or `g'.

Thanks,
	Suika

nnfolder shouldn't touch the folders at startup -- the active file has
all the necessary information.  At least this is the case if you have
nnfolder in your secondary select method list...

I looked, had it in gnus-secondary-select-method ^_^
BHOT BHOT BHOT BHOT really hard.
That s really makes a difference, I must say ^_^
fixed it, manually edited (OK, global replaced) the nnfolder:s and
nnfolder ""s to nnfolder+private:s and nnfolder "private"s (after
starting rgnus and finding that I lost all of the marks in the groups
when they got autosubscribed ^_^ )
It had always done that, so I had just thought that was the way it
worked ^_^

I am so happy ^_^  It works so much better this way!  startup time is
less than a tenth of what it had been ^_^

Thank you very much,

Would shudder at a wicked word.
Their candle gives a single light;
They'd rather stay at home at night.
They do not keep awake till three,
Nor read erotic poetry.
They never sanction the impure,
Nor recognize an overture.
They shrink from powders and from paints ...
So far, I've had no complaints.
