What I can tell there aren't that many Gnus newbies around - I wish there were! - so don't be afraid you'll flood this roup with questions or anything. But if you want to be something more than a newbie, the fool-proof method is acting like a professional right away: start to write more elaborate subjects, that are descriptive of the problem or, well subject in short! - and not ironic in style. And when you have a new question, start a new thread. Or if it gradually evolved out of the old one but still has some connection, keep the old subject like this Subject: new subject (was: old subject) That is typically done when the "new subject" needs a quotation from the "old subject". If not, just create a new subject. > Is there a way I can make messages that I have > already expired from the Summary buffer really > disappear from view? To me, it is easier not to bother with the expire stuff at all. Just read the the material, or implicitly use use `gnus-summary-mark-as-read-forward' for what you don't want to read, and you are done. Use `gnus-summary-tick-article-forward' for what you want to read, only later, and for what you've read but you want to keep, still (like a mail that contains instructions what/how to do something). When you are done, use `gnus-summary-mark-as-read-forward' to be done with those, too. Here, I mention the command names but that should be close, one-letter keystrokes, of course... -- underground experts united
