Hello,

I'm using 'E' in summary mode to mark messages as expirable. What would
help me now is to have a shortcut marking a complete thread as
expirable.
Any idea for a function ?

T # M-& E would do it, but that's a little unwieldy.

In my use I aggressively sort things into groups, and things that are
mailing lists are total-expirable, so while it's still interesting to
expire individual messages in e.g. mail.misc.personal, for the most part
I'm not trying to expire whole threads.

("Why yes, I do have a mail.misc.impersonal folder.")

gnus-summary-kill-thread could easily be extended to do this.  It
already does unmarking and ticking of articles; what's one more usage
mode between friends...

I would have done it but don't know what's a good value for the prefix
argument to use as a trigger.  Any suggestions?  0 perhaps?

What about T E ?

Sorry for responding in Lisp-speak :)

`T E' is the key shortcut you'd like.  What I mean is that
gnus-summary-kill-thread has a prefix argument (it's mapped by default
to `T k'; you press C-u then type a number, then hit `T k' to give that
number to gnus-summary-kill-thread as the prefix argument).  If you
don't pass that number, the prefix argument is null.  This is standard
Emacs behavior and a lot of functions take a prefix argument.

I added an extra option to gnus-summary-kill-thread which is almost
 exactly like the regular null-prefix behavior, but used
 gnus-expirable-mark instead of gnus-killed-mark.  To use it, you don't
 have to play with universal prefixes, just do the following:

1) get latest Gnus from CVS

2) hit `M-C-e' or `T e' on a thread to mark the whole thing expirable.
I used `T e' because `T k' is mapped to gnus-summary-kill-thread and I
wanted to be consistent.

3) if you like the behavior, you can map that to a key by itself, say
C-e:

(define-key gnus-summary-mode-map "\C-e" 'gnus-summary-expire-thread)

Please test and let me know if this works for you.  My testing showed no
problems.  I'll document it once testing is done.

Better use `C-c e', `v' or `v e' as these are reserved for users.
`C-e' isn't.

Bye, Reiner.

You decide, I'm OK with any one of those.  `T e' seems to be the best
option anyhow.

Maybe `T E' (with a capital E) to be better parallel with the normal `E'
binding for gnus-summary-mark-as-expirable?

Uh, no.  I wasn't talking about the default binding in Gnus here.
These are reserved for *users*.

> `T e' seems to be the best option anyhow.

We might use `T E': uppercase E in analogy to `E' for
`gnus-summary-mark-as-expirable' (and reserve `T e' for later).  OTOH,
lowercase e in analogy to `M e'.  I don't have strong opinion on this.
Both (`T E' and `T e') are fine with me.

Bye, Reiner.
