Re: time delay on news groups?

[St. Suika Fenderson Roberts]

On a similar note, is/could it be possible to score on article length?  This
would be mainly good for groups like alt.startrek.creative, where anything
under 90 lines is almost certainly not worth reading. . .

Thanks,

PS:  Someone was wanting a `save state to dribble buffer' function, so here's
the one I munged together.  It's tested, can't say much else for it ^_^
(well, I munged it out of Lars's code, so that gives it a boost)

(defun gnus-summary-save-info ()
 (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (let ((group gnus-newsgroup-name))
      (when gnus-newsgroup-kill-headers
        (setq gnus-newsgroup-killed
              (gnus-compress-sequence
               (nconc
                (gnus-set-sorted-intersection
                 (gnus-uncompress-range gnus-newsgroup-killed)
                 (setq gnus-newsgroup-unselected
                       (sort gnus-newsgroup-unselected '<)))
                (setq gnus-newsgroup-unreads
                      (sort gnus-newsgroup-unreads '<)))
               t)))
      (unless (listp (cdr gnus-newsgroup-killed))
        (setq gnus-newsgroup-killed (list gnus-newsgroup-killed)))
      (let ((headers gnus-newsgroup-headers))
        (unless gnus-save-score
          (setq gnus-newsgroup-scored nil))
        ;; Set the new ranges of read articles.
        (gnus-update-read-articles

        ;; Set the current article marks.
        (gnus-update-marks)

	This won't do the right thing if you were reading a virtual
group.  Or rather, if you use this, and then you crash, and it won't
have remembered what you did, much like all groups do now.
This is because it's not updating the component groups, and on restart
Gnus will reconstruct the virtual groups from the components.

	At the end of the function, you could stick in something to
check if the current group's method if it's a virtual group, and if so
call (nnvirtual-update-read-and-marked t t).  However, I consider that
function internal to nnvirtual, so it could disappear someday. :)
