Hm... speaking of this, is there a good way in Gnus to get the number of
ticked or unread articles in a specific newsgroup from anywhere inside
Gnus (not necessarily in that particular newsgroup)? If there is, I could
write a quick little function to respond to a message with something like
"I've received your e-mail, and this is a semi-automated response. Please
be patient... I have 253 pending mail messages to respond to, but I
promise I'll get to yours as soon as I can."
