I have a simple hyperlink package which allows me to
create links to various types of objects, such as info
nodes, URLS and files. Combined with article caching this
is quite a nice interface for maintaining links to
interesting articles.
eg.
<URL:http://www.ifi.uio.no/~larsi/> or
<file:/ftp.ifi.uio.no:/pub/emacs/gnus>.
<news:gnu.emacs.gnus@4567>
However, currently there doesn't seem to be a way to jump
to a specified article in a named group. I have a hacked
routine which sort of works, but has a few problems.
(defun gnus-group-fetch-article (group article)
"Start Gnus if necessary, enter GROUP and fetch article"
(interactive "sGroup name: \nnArticle number: ")
(or (and (boundp 'gnus-group-buffer) (get-buffer gnus-group-buffer))
(gnus))
(let ((gnus-large-newsgroup 1000))
(gnus-group-read-group t t group)
(if article
(gnus-summary-goto-article article)
)))
This doesn't work if the group is already opened and if
there are a large number of available articles to read.
Am I missing an available routine ? If not, could this be
added to the feature list ?

I've now added this to the Red Gnus todo list.
