Filter threads by date

Filter threads by date

[Flávio de Souza]

Hi everybody,

I am a new emacs and gnus user. 

I would like to know how I would filter messages in a group by period of time.

Lets say I would like to read last week messages from August 3 until 9.

Regards,

Flavio

I did it. But I would like to make a filter.

Gnus can do it by age:

`/t 20' => limit to 20 days old or older
`/t -27' => limit to 27 days old or younger

Together, that gives you an interval.

Use `/w' to pop the limit if you need to refine it.  The "Gnus->Limit
to" menu has all the available ways to limit.  You can have a custom
selector, if date ranges are something you need very often and what's
above is not good enough.

I don't know how to do that, but you could sort messages
chronologically and then jump to the set you were interested in. Not
what you asked for, I know, but maybe helpful.
