Make it work when posting from the group buffer as well. -(message-sent-hook). -* rewrite gnus-demon to use run-with-idle-timers. - -* * Enhancements to Gnus: - - Add two commands: - - * gnus-servers (gnus-start-server-buffer?)--enters Gnus and goes - straight to the server buffer, without opening any connections to - servers first. - - * gnus-server-read-server-newsrc--produces a buffer very similar to - the group buffer, but with only groups from that server listed; - quitting this buffer returns to the server buffer. - -* add a command to check the integrity of an nnfolder folder -- -go through the article numbers and see that there are no duplicates, -and stuff. - -* `unsmileyfy-buffer' to undo smileification. - -* a command to give all relevant info on an article, including all -secondary marks. - -* when doing `-request-accept-article', the backends should do -the nnmail duplicate checking. - -* allow `message-signature-file' to be a function to return the -value of the signature file. - -* In addition, I would love it if I could configure message-tab so that it -could call `bbdb-complete-name' in other headers. So, some sort of -interface like - -(setq message-tab-alist - '((message-header-regexp message-expand-group) - ("^\\(To\\|[cC]c\\|[bB]cc\\)" bbdb-complete-name))) - -then you could run the relevant function to complete the information in -the header - -* cache the newsgroups file locally to avoid reloading it all the time. - -* a command to import a buffer into a group. - -* nnweb should allow fetching by Message-ID from servers. - -* point in the article buffer doesn't always go to the -beginning of the buffer when selecting new articles. - -* a command to process mark all unread articles. - -* `gnus-gather-threads-by-references-and-subject' -- first -do gathering by references, and then go through the dummy roots and -do more gathering by subject. - -* gnus-uu-mark-in-numerical-order -- process mark articles in -article numerical order. - -* (gnus-thread-total-score - (gnus-id-to-thread (mail-header-id (gnus-summary-article-header)))) -bind to a key. - -* sorting by score is wrong when using sparse threads. - -* a command to fetch an arbitrary article -- without having to be -in the summary buffer. - -* a new nncvs backend. Each group would show an article, using -version branches as threading, checkin date as the date, etc. - -* http://www.dejanews.com/forms/dnsetfilter_exp.html ? -This filter allows one to construct advance queries on the Dejanews -database such as specifying start and end dates, subject, author, -and/or newsgroup name. - -* new Date header scoring type -- older, newer - -* use the summary toolbar in the article buffer.
