Create groups with specified articles?

Create groups with specified articles?

[Kai Grossjohann]

Suppose I had a newsgroup name and a list of article numbers, how
would I go about creating a summary buffer showing exactly those
articles?  (Selecting articles should be possible as well, of course.)

For extra credit: Suppose I had a list of pairs of newsgroup name and
article number, how would I go about creating a summary buffer showing
exactly those articles?  (Selecting articles should be possible as
well, of course.)

I think Lars promised me to add an item to the todo list to add an
entry point for this, sometime in May 1997, what became of it?  :-)

Well, `gnus-articles-to-read' returns which articles are to be read.
Hm.  I've now added an optional parameters to gnus-select-newsgroup
that specifies the article list.  That should do the trick, shouldn't
it?

Wonderful!  That does the trick for one newsgroup only, but this
should be enough at first.

Can't wait for 5.6.25...
