I'm using Oort Gnus 0.06 with the Agent, and I have adaptive scoring, mail splitting, and expiry sorted (at least as a good starting point). One thing I'm still not sure of the best way to handle, though. I'd like to be able to "keep" messages and news articles that interest me - possibly for a long time, possibly just for a few days (until I get a chance to deal with it). I don't want to leave the messages unread, as that interferes with my normal scan-read-catchup approach to reading groups. I'd rather keep the messages either in their original groups, or in some sort of "parallel" arrangement, so I don't lose track of where they came from. At the moment, I'm ticking articles (I'm assuming that neither total-expire nor the agent expiry will delete ticked articles). This is OK for "keep until I get round to it" articles, but not so good for longer-term retention (the ticked articles are too obtrusive). I've considered marking articles as dormant, but that doesn't seem quite right for what I want. I thought about saving the articles to some form of mbox file, but again I'm not sure that will be what I want. Copying the articles to an "interesting" folder is an option, but that loses the association with the original source (can I add an X-Original-Group header when copying, and filter on that, maybe?) Does anyone have any suggestions on a good way of handling this sort of thing? I'd love it if Gnus gave me a way of easily weeding the good stuff from the cr*p - nothing I've ever found before has been ideal (the nearest I got was marking articles as "Keep" but "Read" in Forte Agent, but it was still a little too easy to forget the good articles I'd saved...) Thanks in advance, Paul.
