Excuse me if I say so, but maybe it is easier to adjust your working
habits to Gnus. (Gnus is not for everyone; it treats mail like news
and that is both a strength and a weakness.) Please don't be
offended; just try it for a while and see if I'm right.
For example, setting gnus-fetch-old-headers to t means that Gnus will
show you old articles from the threads that have new articles. I use
this. This way, I get the important old messages, but not the ones
I'm not interested in.
If there is a message that I consider important, I hit the `u' key (or
`!' which does the same thing).
If, after trying this, you still think that this behavior is not good,
then you can tell Gnus to hit `u' for you on messages that you read.
How does that sound?
You can also frob a group parameter `display' and set it to `all', I
think. That will do what you think it does.
Kai
