+* 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.
+
+* Multiple charsets for topic names.
+
+ [Done]
+
+* 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.
+
+* Understand mail-user-agent. Maybe gnus-mail-user-agent.
+
+ [Done]
+
+* Emphasis delimiters show when `W W c'.
+
+ [Fixed]
+
+* Parsing of the common list confirmation requests so that Gnus can
+ prepare the response with a single command. Including LISTSERV
+ periodic ping messages and the like.
+
+* Parsing of the various List-* headers to enable automatic commands
+ like "send help message," "send unsubscribe message," and the like.
+
+ [done, see gnus-ml.el]
+
+* 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.
+
* Support for zipped folders for all backends this makes sense for.
Most likely using jka-compr. (It has been suggested that this do
work but I think it should be verified for all backends.)
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.]
+
* The stuff on "Newest Features" in the manual should be implemented
and the node updated (it maybe is?).

supposedly does, to auto-decrypt every message read.

* 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
* A nnfolder like backend with .overview files.
This would not only speed up things, but also allow nnir to work on it.

+
* 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
* New backend between nnfolder and nnml: have more than one article
per file, but more than one file per group. With .overview files.
+ [done. nnfolder has .overview. Backward- and forward-compatible
+ between 1.0 and 2.0. (setq nnfolder-nov-is-evil t) disables the
+ feature]
+
* .overview files for nnfolder?
+
+ [done]
* New backend nnbabylfolder. There is also nnbabyl which is like
nnmbox but uses babyl format, but there is no babyl format
* a way to tick/mark as read Gcc'd articles.

+
* a way to say that all groups within a specific topic comes from a
particular server? Hm.
which should correspond to `B nntp RET sunsite.auc.dk' in *Group*.

+
* 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

Is the "+" character illegal in newsgroup names? Is there any way
in Gnus to work around this? (gnus 5.6.45 - XEmacs 20.4)
+ [It works in 5.8.8.]

* When `#F', do:
Subject: Answer to your mails 01.01.1999-01.05.1999

turn into a [-] button.)

* Perhaps there should be a command to "attach" a buffer of comments
to a message? That is, `B WHATEVER', you're popped into a buffer,
write something, end with `C-c C-c', and then the thing you've

* When renaming a group name, nnmail-split-history does not get the
group name renamed.
