Something I've wanted for a while now, which I think will be very hard
to implement, is some sort of visual indication that a group with new
messages has a post either
(a) authored by me
(b) is a reply to a message from me
Obviously, this may be harder (or slower?) with news, but I think it's
possible with mail.
I have messages which meet that criteria scored up automatically, so
after I enter the group I can see the messages immediately, but I
subscribe to SO many groups/lists that I forget what I've posted
messages in. (oops ;)
Any insights, or is this too hard?
ttyl,

Given what information is acquired when, yes, it's very hard. If you
want a *Group* buffer indication, the problem is that Gnus has no idea
of group content when creating the *Group* buffer. All Gnus knows is
the minimalist data point, "there are articles here numbered between X
and Y."
For Gnus to know more than that, you would require Gnus to enter each
group and effectively do *Summary* generation on every single group,
without displaying the summaries, but using the information learned to
modify the *Group* display.
What you want is possible, but it's bound to be alarmingly expensive
and slow, especially when (as you said) you are subscribed to oodles
of forums.

I think it knows a bit more : I know the number of flagged and dormant
articles from the *Group* buffer already.

An interesting possibility would be to have a "mark" which can be set by a
user-provided function, as the articles are being split. The group buffer
could then display the number of articles that have that mark set...

True, but useless in context. There is no information about article
content, especially authors and parent/child followup relationships.
That sort of information is gained by Gnus during group entry, in
preparation for *Summary* generation.

Well, maybe something could be done while splitting? (as has been
mentioned)
What mechanism does the "followup" scoring use to score an article up?
I could look for a particular string in my messageid, perhaps and use
gnus-eye-candy to show it perhaps? This would of course be a hack,
but I'd like it ;)
