So what don't you just tick the articles instead? | | Another thing... I haven't tested it thoroughly but I think if you | press `/ D' in a group, it will still show dormant the next time you | enter too. That is, press `/ D', close the group, come back later | and reopen it... dormant will be displayed. But that's a second hand solution. Pressing / will re-generate whole buffer, imagine 200 + articles, even more.... And pressing / D in every 20 groups when I launch gnus. I would really like Gnus to allow showing dormants in the fist buffer creation pass. And this is easy to implement, if I get permission to muck the code and make a patch. Jari
