+* Use a new custom type (`define-widget') for posting-style in `gnus-cus.el'
+ (G c) and for `gnus-posting-styles'. Maybe some allowed types are still
+ missing.
+
+* Add proper doc strings to functions and variables explained in the manual
+ (info "(gnus)Gnus Utility Functions")
+
+* Add Message-IDs or URLs refering to relevant discussions on lists and
+ newsgroups.
+
+* Use nicer tool bar icons from GNOME
+
+ Done for Emacs (The GNOME icons won't fit into standard XEmacs icons,
+ IMHO. -- rsteib) in group, summary and message mode.
+
+ Some modes might also deserve improved tool bars:
+
+ - gnus-draft-mode
+
+ - mml-preview buffer:
+
+ . zap most buttons; except print, customize (?) and help
+
+ . "exit" should just kill the buffer
+
+ - gnus-server-mode: Add some commands from the Connections and Server
+ menu.
+
+ - gnus-browse-mode (could borrow some icons from gnus-group-mode)
+
+ (See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/62147).
+
+* Maybe Gnus should support the LIST SUBSCRIPTIONS, see RFC 2980.
+
+* Merge `message-extra-wide-headers' and ` message-header-synonyms'?
+
+* Maybe texi/emacs-mime.texi could be divided into user-visible stuff and
+ reference manual for the MIME library.
+
+ Related: Bill Wohler's article on mh-e-user.
+ http://thread.gmane.org/29067.1138078896@olgas.newt.com
+
+* Fix `change servers' command, see David Kastrup's message.
+ http://thread.gmane.org/x54qewqxz4.fsf@lola.goethe.zz
+
+* texi/gnus-coding.texi should be fixed.
+
+* gnus-topic-kill-region
+ From Colin Marquardt <colin.marquardt@usa.alcatel.com>
+
+ I noticed that when re-arranging topics, C-k yanks a topic just fine
+ (runs gnus-topic-kill-group).
+
+ However, my habit is to do marking and the yanking the region, so I
+ would run C-w on the marked topic. But C-w runs
+ gnus-group-kill-region and doesn't yank the topic (for groups it
+ works fine).
+
+ So could we have a gnus-topic-kill-region, or a
+ gnus-group-kill-region which handles topics as well?
+
+* Speed up sorting in summary buffer if there is a limit.
+
+ Suggested by Daniel Ortmann <ortmann@isl.net>.
+
+* Investigate the memory usage of Gnus.
+
+ But it does seem strange that Gnus would use some 15meg for this. I
+ think that is worth investigating. I suspect that bugs or bad
+ design are causing waste; they could be in Gnus, or in Emacs. -- RMS
+
+* Google group digest
+
+ The result of Google group search return a thread. Is it a digest
+ format?
+
+* NOV caching.
+
+ Implement NOV caching with Gnus Agent.
+
+* Allow specification of server in Newsgroups header
+
+ [Kai wrote]
+
+ WIBNI I could put `Newsgroups: nntp+quimby:bla' into a message and
+ Gnus would know to post this message on my server `nntp:quimby' into
+ the group bla? I think this would be way cool.
+
+ But Gnus would have to rewrite the Newsgroups header before actually
+ sending the posting.
+
+ Thanks for Micha Wiedenmann for this suggestion.
+
+* Parsing of the subscription notice to stash away details like what
+ address you're subscribed to the list under (and automatically send
+ mail to the list using that address, when you send mail inside the list
+ group), what address to mail to unsubscribe, and the list info message
+ if available. Hitting the "get FAQ" command inside a mailing list
+ group should display that stashed copy of the info message.
+
+* Some help in coming up with good split rules for mailing lists, as
+ automated as possible. Splitting on To and Cc is almost always not
+ what I want, since it can misfile messages and since if I'm cc'd on
+ list mail I want to get both copies, one in my personal mailbox and one
+ in the list mailbox. I know other people handle it other ways, but I
+ prefer it that way. Accordingly, some way to semi-automatically
+ generate split rules based on Sender, Mailing-List, Return-Path,
+ X-Loop, and all of the other random headers that often work would be
+ very cool.
+
+* Agent:
+
+* A better interface to the agent download scoring rules, like the one
+ for the other scoring rules.
+
+* Editing of messages in the agents cache.
+
+* Support for encrypted folders. Even if the mail arrives unencrypted
+ Gnus should be able to encrypt the *folder* for added safety. This
+ should go for both Gnus' own folders and the folders Gnus reads from
+ (e.g. /var/spool/mail/${USER}). All backends this makes sense for.
+
+ [John Wiegley's article <200011030445.VAA08277@localhost.dynodns.net>,
+ posted on gnu.emacs.gnus does this.
+ Also, gnus-article-encrypt `K E' encrypts the article body.]
+
+* Splitting .newsrc.eld so the history is in one file and the
+ configuration is in another. To help those that reads at two
+ locations (e.g. work and home) and want to have the same
+ configuration.
+
+* Additional article marking, and an ability to affect marks placed
+ during e.g. mail acquisition. I want to be able to notice the
+ subject "fast money" or "web traffic", automatically mark it with a
+ `$', and score it into oblivion. (But I fear that wanting to change
+ marks with mail-source-* and nnmail-* functions will represent a
+ philosophical conflict with the rest of Gnus' management of article
+ marks. mail-source-* and nnmail-* currently hack around with files
+ under ~/Mail and leave traces in ~/Mail/active, but don't affect
+ things stored in .newsrc.eld.)
+
+* A much better interface to nnmail-split-methods. I don't know how
+ I'd like this done, but I know that the current method of manually
+ hacking regexps is pretty untenable for new users. My boss, who is
+ tenured faculty at CMU and CEO & CTO at JPRC, and whose research
+ work has involved Lisp for the last 25 years, is trying to implant
+ himself in a Gnus mail environment, and this is a big sticking point
+ even for him.
+
+* PGP-supported encryption of entire nnml & nnmh groups. There are
+ people with whom I exchange mail routinely who don't send w/PGP, but
+ I'd really rather that the content not be left lying around
+ unencrypted. Hook into article acquisition the way jka-compr
+ supposedly does, to auto-decrypt every message read.
+
+ [See Support for encrypted folders.]
+
+* Baby's First Mail In Gnus. Some set of functions that the
+ new-to-mail-in-Gnus user can invoke which will query the user
+ appropriately for the basic information required to establish mail
+ handling, leaving the appropriate traces in .gnus. Perhaps a
+ customize buffer would be appropriate.
+ - Where does your mail come from?
+ - If some server, what is your POP/IMAP protocol identity?
+ - What is your identity when sending mail, as opposed to posting to
+ Usenet?
+ - Here are some basic concepts of mail groups (list a few:
+ personal mail, company-wide mail, mailing lists, garbage dumps,
+ receptacles for outbound copies of what one sends; which ones do
+ you want to instantiate, and what mail should land in each?
+ [/viz./ problem of nnmail-split-methods interface.]
+
+ [Probably `assistant.el' will provide this. But it's development is
+ stalled.]
+
+* Manual ordering of articles in an nnml folder.
+
+ That is, keystrokes to move articles (or whole threads) up or down
+ in the *Summary* buffer relative to the other articles. The order
+ would be persistent (e.g., across gnus sessions).
+
+ With this ability, an nnml folder would make for a good to-do list.
+
+* Since many uses Gnus to store to do lists I think it is time for an
+ nntodo. (I know Kai already written one, maybe use that for a start?)
+
+* nnsql backend, which would allow messages or folders to be imported
+ in a local (My|Postgre|?)SQL RDBMS.
+
+* "posting profiles" ideally accessible from a popup menu; allowing
+ choice between predefined profiles of
+ from,name,organization,etc. Example: I'm at home, but need to reply
+ to a work mail; i can hit 'R', then use this command to switch to my
+ 'work' profile for purposes of this one reply. (This might already
+ be possible with current Gnus, but I don't think so.)
+
+* Better handling of the mail retrieving / splitting feature:
+ - the variables <backend>-get-new-mail should not exist anymore. Mail
+ retrieving should be a separate matter.
+ - we should be able to split mails to groups AND backends at the same time.
+ - meanwhile, we should still be able to associate certain mail sources with
+ certain backends.
+
+* More article marks (like '!' or '?').
+ Maybe user defined marks that can be displayed as any choosen charakter,
+ so one could do things like limiting on, to do whatever one likes with
+ these articles.
+
+* Allow article editing in groups which do not support it, but
+ emulating it via deleting the old article and entering the new one
+ into the group. This would be very useful to support `T ^' (say) in
+ nnimap groups.
+
+* Allow user to specify which kinds of groups should be displayed.
+ For example, I want to display all the groups that are displayed
+ now, plus those which have cached messages in them. (Gnus does
+ display those with ticked messages but not those with
+ cached-but-unticked ones.) This would become even more important
+ when we allow labels.
+
+* Create new data type `article identifier' and use that instead of
+ article numbers. A first implementation could offer something like
+ (num . 4711) but this could be extended. This would be useful for
+ using servers with *really* large numbers -- there we could have a
+ bignum type. It might also be useful for the nnweb and nnultimate
+ thingies where article identifiers are not really numbers.
+
+* Allow use of digests to keep related articles. Normally, you use
+ groups to group together articles which are thematically related.
+ But sometimes, you have so many themes that this becomes
+ impractical. WIBNI I could have digests in a group, and there was a
+ way to add a new article to one of the digests in that group?
+
+ Or maybe what I really want is a way to tell Gnus that a specific
+ thread should always be hidden (as in `T h') by default, while most
+ other threads are not hidden by default. Hm.
+
+* New backend nnbabylfolder. There is also nnbabyl which is like
+ nnmbox but uses babyl format, but there is no babyl format
+ equivalent of nnfolder.
+
+* Make movement commands in summary buffer independent of `move after
+ mark' behavior when marking articles. Currently, if you don't want
+ `E' to move to the next unread article, you have to set
+ gnus-summary-goto-unread to nil, and then there is no way to move to
+ the next or previous unread article.
+
+ This one has two sub-tasks. Providing the commands is one thing,
+ finding out useful key bindings for them is another. I think we
+ could provide the commands first while not changing the behavior of
+ the key bindings; then different people can experiment with
+ different key binding schemes until we find something which suits
+ many people.
+
+* `Move to next/previous/first article' is a misnomer, since ticked
+ articles are also unread but not moved to by these commands. Should
+ the terminology be fixed or the documentation, or what?
+
+* Allow sorting of threads by newest article rather than by root of
+ thread. Consider the following thread structure:
+
+ root1 Jan 1
+ leaf1 Jan 4
+ root2 Jan 2
+ leaf2 Jan 3
+
+ These two threads are sorted this way because root1 is older than
+ root2. I want an option to sort them the other way round because
+ leaf1 is newer than leaf2.
+
+* Improve editing of MIME messages. I would like to use html-mode to
+ edit the body of a text/html message, and enriched-mode for
+ text/enriched messages, and so on. This should go for multipart
+ messages as well. This is probably a hard one since Emacs currently
+ does not allow several major modes per buffer. But maybe it would
+ be nice to hack Emacs to provide this infrastructure so that Gnus
+ can make use of it? This would also make it possible to provide
+ nifty commands for editing the headers, for example, rather than
+ relying on commands which do the same thing everywhere.
+ message-x.el is really just a half-assed attempt at doing it, and
+ while it is useful, that's not the way it should be done.
+
+ I think Francisco Potort\e,Al\e(B already did something like this?
+
+* Provide commands for editing MML tags. For example, there could be
+ a command mml-add-tag-attribute which prompts me for an attribute
+ name (with completion, from the set filename, type, ...), and then
+ for a value. (This is like `C-c +' in psgml.) Or there could be a
+ command which showed me all the attributes in an MML tag and allows
+ me to use TAB to move between them, and then to edit each attribute
+ value. (This is like `C-c C-a' in psgml.)
+
+* Have Gnus automagically set group parameters for mailing list
+ groups. For example, if I have a splitting rule that automatically
+ sorts ding@gnus.org into mail.ding, then Gnus should clue in, set
+ the to-list parameter to 'ding@gnus.org', and set total-expire.
+ (This is probably Hard (TM). And of course the user should be able
+ to configure what parameters exactly get set.)
+
+* Along the same lines, automagically detect broken reply-to's. (But
+ don't auto-detect users legitimately setting a reply-to header that
+ points back to the list.)
+
+* Make it easier to change parameters on a set of groups,
+ e.g. set/clear gcc-self on process-marked groups.
+
+* Make it easier/possible to migrate between primary select-methods,
+ if that concept is going to be kept. Right now I have only one
+ group on my primary server, and I'd kind of like to change from nntp
+ to nnml, but apparently this doesn't work well.
+
+* Make it possible to refer to uniquely-named groups without
+ select-method prefix (e.g. mail.misc instead of nnml:mail.misc).
+
+* Annotations as discussed last autumn. Be able to make comments to
+ articles for all backends. The comments maybe should go into a
+ seperate "backend", like nndraft.
+
+* Catchup on a topic and all its subtopics. I.e. do "c y" when on a
+ topic line in *Group*.
+
+* Better/more advanced subject washing in *Summary*, see my
+ js-gnus-simplify-subject-function I posted earlier this winter.
+
+;; From Newest Features node. Some are not done.

latest version of gnus or some explanation on where to find it.

-* checking for bogus groups should clean topic alists as well.
-* cancelling articles in foreign groups.
-* article number in folded topics isn't properly updated by

-* Topic movement commands -- like thread movement. Up, down, forward, next.
-* a way to tick/mark as read Gcc'd articles.

-and then splitting it/moving it to some other group/backend.
-* a group parameter for nnkiboze groups that says that
-all kibozed articles should be entered into the cache.
-* It should also probably be possible to delimit what
-`gnus-jog-cache' does -- for instance, work on just some groups, or on
-some levels, and entering just articles that have a score higher than
-a certain number.
-* function to request all articles in a thread.
-* nnfolder should append to the folder instead of re-writing
-the entire folder to disk when accepting new messages.

-* I like the option for trying to retrieve the FAQ for a group and I was
-thinking it would be great if for those newsgroups that had archives
-you could also try to read the archive for that group. Part of the
-problem is that archives are spread all over the net, unlike FAQs.
-What would be best I suppose is to find the one closest to your site.

-The problem above is that since there is really only one subsection of

-there was a sci.somethingelse group or section, then it should prompt
-for sci? first the sci.something? then sci.somethingelse?...
+* Movement in the group buffer to the next unread group should go

-*Ja, det burde være en måte å si slikt. Kanskje en ny variabel?

- any whitespace surrounding any of the above
+* `T h' should jump to the parent topic and fold it.
+* a command to create an ephemeral nndoc group out of a file, and
+ then splitting it/moving it to some other group/backend.
-*Well, we could allow a new value to `gnus-thread-ignore-subject' --
-`spaces', or something. (We could even default to that.) And then
-subjects that differ in white space only could be considered the
-"same" subject for threading purposes.
+* It should also probably be possible to delimit what
+ `gnus-jog-cache' does - for instance, work on just some groups, or
+ on some levels, and entering just articles that have a score
+ higher than a certain number.
-*Modes to preprocess the contents (e.g. jka-compr) use the second form
-"(REGEXP FUNCTION NON-NIL)" while ordinary modes (e.g. tex) use the first
-form "(REGEXP . FUNCTION)", so you could use it to distinguish between
-those two types of modes. (auto-modes-alist, insert-file-contents-literally.)
+* nnfolder should append to the folder instead of re-writing the

-* Under XEmacs -- do funny article marks:
-tick - thumb tack
-killed - skull
-soup - bowl of soup
-score below - dim light bulb
-score over - bright light bulb
+* a backend for reading collections of babyl files nnbabylfolder?
-*Yes. I think the algorithm is as follows:

-One could think of some `nneething-only-files' variable, but I guess
-it would have been unacceptable if one was using many unrelated such
-nneething groups.
+* a command for deciding what the total score of the current thread
+ is. Also a way to highlight based on this.
-A more useful approach would be to, in response to the `G D' prompt, be
-allowed to say something like: `~/.mail/Incoming*', somewhat limiting
-the top-level directory only (in case directories would be matched by
-the wildcard expression).
+* command to show and edit group scores

- Take a look at w3-menu.el in the Emacs-W3 distribution - this works out
-really well. Each menu is 'named' by a symbol that would be on a
-gnus-*-menus (where * would be whatever, but at least group, summary, and
-article versions) variable.
-
- So for gnus-summary-menus, I would set to '(sort mark dispose ...)
-
- A value of '1' would just put _all_ the menus in a single 'GNUS' menu in
-the main menubar. This approach works really well for Emacs-W3 and VM.

+ From: John Griffith <griffith@sfs.nphil.uni-tuebingen.de>
+
+* I like the option for trying to retrieve the FAQ for a group and
+ I was thinking it would be great if for those newsgroups that had
+ archives you could also try to read the archive for that group.
+ Part of the problem is that archives are spread all over the net,
+ unlike FAQs. What would be best I suppose is to find the one
+ closest to your site.
+
+ In any case, there is a list of general news group archives at
+ ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/pub/users/claird/news.lists/newsgroup_archives.html

+* From: Jason L Tibbitts III <tibbs@hpc.uh.edu>

+ "Return the date the group was last read."

+
+* LMI> Well, nnbabyl could alter the group info to heed labels like
+ LMI> answered and read, I guess.
+
+ It could also keep them updated (the same for the Status: header of
+ unix mbox files).
+
+ They could be used like this:
+
+ `M l <name> RET' add label <name> to current message.
+ `M u <name> RET' remove label <name> from current message.
+ `/ l <expr> RET' limit summary buffer according to <expr>.
+
+ <expr> would be a boolean expression on the labels, e.g.
+
+ `/ l bug & !fixed RET'
+
+ would show all the messages which are labeled `bug' but not labeled
+ `fixed'.
+
+ One could also imagine the labels being used for highlighting, or
+ affect the summary line format.
+
+* Sender: abraham@dina.kvl.dk
+
+ I'd like a gnus-find-file which work like find file, except that it
+ would recognize things that looks like messages or folders:
+
+ - If it is a directory containing numbered files, create an nndir
+ summary buffer.
+
+ - For other directories, create a nneething summary buffer.
+
+ - For files matching "\\`From ", create a nndoc/mbox summary.
+
+ - For files matching "\\`BABYL OPTIONS:", create a nndoc/baby
+ summary.
+
+ - For files matching "\\`[^ \t\n]+:", create an *Article* buffer.
+
+ - For other files, just find them normally.
+
+ I'd like `nneething' to use this function, so it would work on a
+ directory potentially containing mboxes or babyl files.
+
+* Currently, I get prompted:
+
+ decend into sci? - type y decend into sci.something ? - type n
+ decend into ucd?
+
+ The problem above is that since there is really only one
+ subsection of science, shouldn't it prompt you for only descending
+ sci.something? If there was a sci.somethingelse group or section,
+ then it should prompt for sci? first the sci.something? then
+ sci.somethingelse?...
+
+* Ja, det burde v\e,Af\e(Bre en m\e,Ae\e(Bte \e,Ae\e(B si slikt. Kanskje en ny variabel?
+ `gnus-use-few-score-files'? S\e,Ae\e(B kunne score-regler legges til den
+ "mest" lokale score-fila. F. eks. ville no-gruppene betjenes av
+ "no.all.SCORE", osv.
+
+* What i want is for Gnus to treat any sequence or combination of
+ the following as a single spoiler warning and hide it all,
+ replacing it with a "Next Page" button:
+
+ ^L's
+
+ more than n blank lines
+
+ more than m identical lines (which should be replaced with button
+ to show them)
+
+ any whitespace surrounding any of the above
+
+* Well, we could allow a new value to `gnus-thread-ignore-subject' -
+ `spaces', or something. (We could even default to that.) And then
+ subjects that differ in white space only could be considered the
+ "same" subject for threading purposes.
+
+* Modes to preprocess the contents (e.g. jka-compr) use the second
+ form "(REGEXP FUNCTION NON-NIL)" while ordinary modes (e.g. tex)
+ use the first form "(REGEXP . FUNCTION)", so you could use it to
+ distinguish between those two types of modes. (auto-modes-alist,
+ insert-file-contents-literally.)
+
+* Under XEmacs - do funny article marks: tick - thumb tack killed -
+ skull soup - bowl of soup score below - dim light bulb score over
+ - bright light bulb
+
+* Yes. I think the algorithm is as follows:
+
+ Group-mode
+
+ show-list-of-articles-in-group
+ if (key-pressed == SPACE)
+ if (no-more-articles-in-group-to-select)
+ if (articles-selected)
+ start-reading-selected-articles;
+ junk-unread-articles;
+ next-group;
+ else
+ show-next-page;
+
+ else if (key-pressed = '.')
+ if (consolidated-menus) # same as hide-thread in Gnus
+ select-thread-under-cursor;
+ else
+ select-article-under-cursor;
+
+
+ Article-mode
+ if (key-pressed == SPACE)
+ if (more-pages-in-article)
+ next-page;
+ else if (more-selected-articles-to-read)
+ next-article;
+ else
+ next-group;
+
+* My precise need here would have been to limit files to Incoming*.
+ One could think of some `nneething-only-files' variable, but I
+ guess it would have been unacceptable if one was using many
+ unrelated such nneething groups.
+
+ A more useful approach would be to, in response to the `G D'
+ prompt, be allowed to say something like: `~/.mail/Incoming*',
+ somewhat limiting the top-level directory only (in case
+ directories would be matched by the wildcard expression).
+
+* Take a look at w3-menu.el in the Emacs-W3 distribution - this
+ works out really well. Each menu is 'named' by a symbol that
+ would be on a gnus-*-menus (where * would be whatever, but at
+ least group, summary, and article versions) variable.
+
+ So for gnus-summary-menus, I would set to '(sort mark dispose ...)
+
+ A value of '1' would just put _all_ the menus in a single 'GNUS'
+ menu in the main menubar. This approach works really well for
+ Emacs-W3 and VM.
+
+* nndoc should take care to create unique Message-IDs for all its
+ articles.
+
+* gnus-score-followup-article only works when you have a summary
+ buffer active. Make it work when posting from the group buffer as
+ well. (message-sent-hook).
+
+* * 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
+ * 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.
