Well, I think if I stick with using dormant mark and tick mark the way you use them for, I don't even need do 'C-u SPC' ever, since '/ D' in summary gives me all dormant articles almost instantly! Also, I set gnus-total-expirable-newsgroups to match all my mail groups, all read articles are expirable right the way, therefore, no ancient articles to deal with -> no need to do 'C-u SPC'. >> Also, movement commands doesn't work well on read articles ('n'/'p' >> moves between unread articles only).
