While this is rather nice, I do have one minor problem. When brewing a soup, Gnus by default marks all souped articles as read. I would like to have control over the articles that will be deleted, however (often I want to keep souped articles), and as I use total-expire, marking them as read is not quite what I want. I have therefore set gnus-souped-mark to ?\? (dormant) which works rather nicely, mostly. However, I have found out that I have to retrieve all of a group in order to see the dormant articles. Is there a better way? I know that acutally, the articles are marked ?F, but it seems that Gnus thinks these are read, as well, when I reenter a group after brewing soups. I have also tried ?\ (unread), but that didn't allow me to distinguish between unread articles that have already been souped and those that haven't. I can't use ?! as I use that for articles where I know I want to keep them. (For souped articles, I don't know yet.) Wouldn't be able to distinguish between souped and other articles there, either. Can anyone give me a hand here? Should I convert to auto-expire rather than total-expire in order to have the `read' mark left over for such things? Thanks in advance for any hint you might be able to give. kai -- Life is hard and then you die.
