I can understand why it would be confusing, but I can also understand why
it moves, since I often do both operations (fetch new news in a group, then
enter it and fetch new news for several groups in sequence).
What I would really like to do is automatically fetch new news in a group
every time it is entered. I'd also like to have an rn-like option to fetch
new news just as you're about to leave a group. (N new articles have
arrived while you were reading; read them now?) And while I'm dreaming,
short key sequences to get straight to new news in my inbox and other
important groups from wherever I happen to be.
I know that most of this can be done with hooks (and the hotkey group
switch with what should be short functions) but lisp is completely swapped
out of my wetware right now. Has anyone achieved any of these?
