Maybe one of you gurus can help? I put messages into at most one group, so I don't have a problem and no experience with messages in more than one group. But I've got a colleague who wants to have each message in a lot of groups. And thus the following question. In the following, `delete' means anything that causes the message to be removed from a group, including the expiry process and `B DEL'. But just being marked as read is not sufficient for a message to be considered deleted (unless total-expire). Is it possible to configure and/or use Gnus so that one has two options for deleting a message that is in several groups: (a) remove it from the current group but leave it in all other groups (b) remove it from all groups it is in. Some messages might be in several groups because of the splitting process and nnmail-crosspost being t. Some other messages might be in several groups because they're explicitly put there with B c (or should B C be used instead?). Also, what happens when a message is `B m'ed from one group to another? Are all its old copies deleted or just the copy in the current group? I think the user in question would be happy with total-expire or auto-expire or neither, your choice. Just make it so that he has both choices for `deleting'. kai -- ~/.signature: No such file or directory
