Guess we have a different definition of 'new' mails. By 'new' mails I mean mails that just get incorporated by doing 'g'.

I can't find better way of keeping the articles I need to re-visit or reply. I know about the read marks and tick mark. I use tick marks for articles I want to keep in the group till hell freezes. I don't use read marks at all because 'C-u SPC' (to see all articles) on a group with many articles is VERY slow (at least for nnfolder anyways. see ). I explicitly bind 'd' to gnus-summary-mark-as-expirable for article deletion. All unread articles are the one I need to re-visit or reply. Also, movement commands doesn't work well on read articles ('n'/'p' moves between unread articles only). I think you are right in ; I haven't fully adjusted to the Gnus Way of reading mail after 4 years of using it. I wonder how people use marks on mail groups for the purpose of keeping articles and indicating an need-to-be-late article. Any Gnus experts wanna speaks up here? -- Danny Dick-Fung Siu mailto:dsiu@adobe.com Acrobat Engineering @ Adobe Systems Incorporated
