Subject: T ^ command change request (labels in gnus)
Date: 22 Jan 1998 13:43:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <tb67ncensy.fsf@pegasus.tele.nokia.fi> (raw)



1.
        Since Gnus does not have labels, I have come up with idea of
        posting an empty "label" article to my mail groups and putting all
        releveant messages under that article.

        However there is no method in Gnus to simple "add" and article
        to the group. Currently I send it to myself and do Gcc to the
        group.

        --> Request: Please add command to add an empty aricle to group
            without posting it anywhere.
    
2.      Reparenting aricles are difficult. If I mark parent with # and then
        go to child and press T ^, the article is moved, but also the
        the parent mark is removed

        --> Request: Please do not removed the parent #, because I want
            to move several articles under one parent.

3.      Request: add method to move entire a) thread b) set of marked 
        articles under some parent.

After these changes, we can pretty nicely implement "labels" in group,
for example I have a work.nok where all the NOK case reports arrive
and they all have impact level how important the messages are and what
I do is that I arrange the Summary buffer's articles:


        urgent-label-article            empty article: The parent
          -article that needs my attention _now_
          -article that needs my attention _now_
        non-urgent-label-article
          -article that needs my attention soon...
          -article that needs my attention soon...
        inforeq-label-article
          -article that needs more information
          -article that needs more information
        Handled-label-article
          -rest of the articles

When the case comes closed, I move the article under "handled" label.
This is all lot of work because there is no convenient way to do
reparenting and add new empty articles.

Howabout it?
