Gather Responses

Gather Responses

[Randy Yates]

Here's a query to the group or a suggestion to anyone who
may have the know-how:

I find that much of my time in usenet is spent looking for responses
to posts I have made. Couldn't gnus be made to automatically gather
such responses (perhaps the time frame could default to the date
since the last gathering was done, or passed as a parameter)?

I set gnus-message-archive-group and look for the messages in there
instead. Given the article ID it's easy to go to the relevant group and
jump to it. HTH, even if it's not quite what you asked.

How do you do that?

Well, once I've looked in the gnus-message-archive-group (mine is
"nnml:mail.outgoing") and found the article, I can see what newsgroup it
was in and what its article number or message ID was, and then from the
summary buffer 'j' will take me to the group and from the group buffer
'j' again will let me type an article number or message ID (which I've
probably stored in my paste buffer).

If you don't use lots of NNTP servers spread among secondary select
methods, you can probably just use 'j' from the archive group and type
the message ID there to get the article from the correct group, instead
of navigating to the correct group yourself.

I copied these lines from somewhere

;;* Higher Scoring of followups to myself
(add-hook 'message-sent-hook 'gnus-score-followup-article)
(add-hook 'message-sent-hook 'gnus-score-followup-thread)

These lines make followups to my emails stand out (they become a bit bold).

But the problem is, for me, that it does that in news but as
well in mails.

Is there a possibility to restrict that behavior to the news
only?

Best regards,
