I don't know if this is a Good Thing to do. The whole of gnus is quite strong about making sure that nothing will be accidentally deleted. But this function wipes articles away forever and without confirmation by one simple klick. How difficult would it be to push the articles to be deleted into a list and kill them on leaving of the group? So one could make some sort of "undelete" while inside the group by just clearing the marks of the article (this function would have to take care of removing the article out of the delete-list of course). On the other hand: by having a expiry function and the possibility to set expiry-wait to immediate one could argue if we need another delete mechanism at all. By the way: Why are the toolbars for nntp and mail folders that much different? Most of the nntp toolbar functions could be used quite well in mail groups either, so maybe it would be better to just add some icons there. And last: The function gnus-get-mail seems to be not implemented (pressing the toolbar button in mail groups) Cheers, Jens
