Subject: How to select articles by (author|subject|...)
Date: 17 May 2002 17:40:38 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <81offewg7t.fsf@shasta.cs.uiuc.edu> (raw)
When going into large newsgroups or mail folders, I frequently need to just
find articles that are from a certain person or with a certain subject. I
can't see any easy way to do this in Gnus. I would expect
gnus-group-select-by-author or similar. I have been perusing the info
pages and FAQs to no avail. Is there a way to do this?
If not, how hard would it be to make Gnus do the following:
Allow entering a group showing only articles matching a certain regexp.
Interface with BBDB to get From: names and aliases.
E.g.
M-x gnus-group-select-some-articles
Select articles by (F)rom, (S)ubject, (D)ate, (R)egexp? F
Select articles from: Kai[TAB]
Select articles from: Kai Großjohann
Interface with a mail database of some kind (haven't started using any, as
I can't use it from Gnus yet).
Thanks,
-Lars
