1 ;; Also know as the "wish list". Some are done. For the others, no
2 ;; promise when to be implemented.
4 * Support for zipped folders for all backends this makes sense for.
5 Most likely using jka-compr. (It has been suggested that this do
6 work but I think it should be verified for all backends.)
8 * Support for RFC2015, PGP-MIME. Probably has to involve the people in
11 * Agent (Can someone write some subtopics here? I don't use it myself
12 so I don't know what is lacking.)
14 * Support for encrypted folders. Even if the mail arrives unencrypted
15 Gnus should be able to encrypt the *folder* for added safety. This
16 should go for both Gnus' own folders and the folders Gnus reads from
17 (e.g. /var/spool/mail/${USER}). All backends this makes sense for.
19 * The stuff on "Newest Features" in the manual should be implemented
20 and the node updated (it maybe is?).
22 * Splitting .newsrc.eld so the history is in one file and the
23 configuration is in another. To help those that reads at two
24 locations (e.g. work and home) and want to have the same
27 * gnus-uu-decode should complain if one or more parts of a series post
28 (ie, "part N of X") is missing, and optionally tick what parts are
29 there for decoding in a later session.
31 * Additional article marking, and an ability to affect marks placed
32 during e.g. mail acquisition. I want to be able to notice the
33 subject "fast money" or "web traffic", automatically mark it with a
34 `$', and score it into oblivion. (But I fear that wanting to change
35 marks with mail-source-* and nnmail-* functions will represent a
36 philosophical conflict with the rest of Gnus' management of article
37 marks. mail-source-* and nnmail-* currently hack around with files
38 under ~/Mail and leave traces in ~/Mail/active, but don't affect
39 things stored in .newsrc.eld.)
41 * A much better interface to nnmail-split-methods. I don't know how
42 I'd like this done, but I know that the current method of manually
43 hacking regexps is pretty untenable for new users. My boss, who is
44 tenured faculty at CMU and CEO & CTO at JPRC, and whose research
45 work has involved Lisp for the last 25 years, is trying to implant
46 himself in a Gnus mail environment, and this is a big sticking point
49 * PGP-supported encryption of entire nnml & nnmh groups. There are
50 people with whom I exchange mail routinely who don't send w/PGP, but
51 I'd really rather that the content not be left lying around
52 unencrypted. Hook into article acquisition the way jka-compr
53 supposedly does, to auto-decrypt every message read.
55 * Baby's First Mail In Gnus. Some set of functions that the
56 new-to-mail-in-Gnus user can invoke which will query the user
57 appropriately for the basic information required to establish mail
58 handling, leaving the appropriate traces in .gnus. Perhaps a
59 customize buffer would be appropriate.
60 - Where does your mail come from?
61 - If some server, what is your POP/IMAP protocol identity?
62 - What is your identity when sending mail, as opposed to posting to
64 - Here are some basic concepts of mail groups (list a few:
65 personal mail, company-wide mail, mailing lists, garbage dumps,
66 receptacles for outbound copies of what one sends; which ones do
67 you want to instantiate, and what mail should land in each?
68 [/viz./ problem of nnmail-split-methods interface.]
70 * Full integration of nnir into Gnus. Generic hooks for adding new
71 external nnir sources. I use a couple experimental, in-house tools
72 (JPRC is a research lab, occupied with document analysis and machine
73 learning) and adding new search engines to nnir by hacking the main
74 nnir.el module is rather clunky.
76 * Manual ordering of articles in an nnml folder.
78 That is, keystrokes to move articles (or whole threads) up or down
79 in the *Summary* buffer relative to the other articles. The order
80 would be persistent (e.g., across gnus sessions).
82 With this ability, an nnml folder would make for a good to-do list.
84 * Since many uses Gnus to store to do lists I think it is time for an
85 nntodo. (I know Kai already written one, maybe use that for a start?)
87 * nnsql backend, which would allow messages or folders to be imported
88 in a local (My|Postgre|?)SQL RDBMS.
90 * "posting profiles" ideally accessible from a popup menu; allowing
91 choice between predefined profiles of
92 from,name,organization,etc. Example: I'm at home, but need to reply
93 to a work mail; i can hit 'R', then use this command to switch to my
94 'work' profile for purposes of this one reply. (This might already
95 be possible with current Gnus, but I don't think so.)
97 * Better handling of the mail retrieving / splitting feature:
98 - the variables <backend>-get-new-mail should not exist anymore. Mail
99 retrieving should be a separate matter.
100 - we should be able to split mails to groups AND backends at the same time.
101 - meanwhile, we should still be able to associate certain mail sources with
104 * A better interface to the agent download scoring rules, like the one
105 for the other scoring rules.
107 * Editing of messages in the agents cache.
109 * More article marks (like '!' or '?').
110 Maybe user defined marks that can be displayed as any choosen charakter,
111 so one could do things like limiting on, to do whatever one likes with
114 * A possibility to add notes to messages. If thouse could include links
115 to other (stored) messages this would be very practical.
117 * A nnfolder like backend with .overview files.
118 This would not only speed up things, but also allow nnir to work on it.
120 * Allow article editing in groups which do not support it, but
121 emulating it via deleting the old article and entering the new one
122 into the group. This would be very useful to support `T ^' (say) in
125 * Allow user to specify which kinds of groups should be displayed.
126 For example, I want to display all the groups that are displayed
127 now, plus those which have cached messages in them. (Gnus does
128 display those with ticked messages but not those with
129 cached-but-unticked ones.) This would become even more important
130 when we allow labels.
132 * Go through the todo list and remove items already done.
134 * Create new data type `article identifier' and use that instead of
135 article numbers. A first implementation could offer something like
136 (num . 4711) but this could be extended. This would be useful for
137 using servers with *really* large numbers -- there we could have a
138 bignum type. It might also be useful for the nnweb and nnultimate
139 thingies where article identifiers are not really numbers.
141 * Allow use of digests to keep related articles. Normally, you use
142 groups to group together articles which are thematically related.
143 But sometimes, you have so many themes that this becomes
144 impractical. WIBNI I could have digests in a group, and there was a
145 way to add a new article to one of the digests in that group?
147 Or maybe what I really want is a way to tell Gnus that a specific
148 thread should always be hidden (as in `T h') by default, while most
149 other threads are not hidden by default. Hm.
151 * New backend between nnfolder and nnml: have more than one article
152 per file, but more than one file per group. With .overview files.
154 * .overview files for nnfolder?
156 * New backend nnbabylfolder. There is also nnbabyl which is like
157 nnmbox but uses babyl format, but there is no babyl format
158 equivalent of nnfolder.
160 * Make movement commands in summary buffer independent of `move after
161 mark' behavior when marking articles. Currently, if you don't want
162 `E' to move to the next unread article, you have to set
163 gnus-summary-goto-unread to nil, and then there is no way to move to
164 the next or previous unread article.
166 This one has two sub-tasks. Providing the commands is one thing,
167 finding out useful key bindings for them is another. I think we
168 could provide the commands first while not changing the behavior of
169 the key bindings; then different people can experiment with
170 different key binding schemes until we find something which suits
173 * `Move to next/previous/first article' is a misnomer, since ticked
174 articles are also unread but not moved to by these commands. Should
175 the terminology be fixed or the documentation, or what?
177 * Allow sorting of threads by newest article rather than by root of
178 thread. Consider the following thread structure:
185 These two threads are sorted this way because root1 is older than
186 root2. I want an option to sort them the other way round because
187 leaf1 is newer than leaf2.
189 * Improve editing of MIME messages. I would like to use html-mode to
190 edit the body of a text/html message, and enriched-mode for
191 text/enriched messages, and so on. This should go for multipart
192 messages as well. This is probably a hard one since Emacs currently
193 does not allow several major modes per buffer. But maybe it would
194 be nice to hack Emacs to provide this infrastructure so that Gnus
195 can make use of it? This would also make it possible to provide
196 nifty commands for editing the headers, for example, rather than
197 relying on commands which do the same thing everywhere.
198 message-x.el is really just a half-assed attempt at doing it, and
199 while it is useful, that's not the way it should be done.
201 I think Francisco Potort
\e,Al
\e(B already did something like this?
203 * Provide commands for editing MML tags. For example, there could be
204 a command mml-add-tag-attribute which prompts me for an attribute
205 name (with completion, from the set filename, type, ...), and then
206 for a value. (This is like `C-c +' in psgml.) Or there could be a
207 command which showed me all the attributes in an MML tag and allows
208 me to use TAB to move between them, and then to edit each attribute
209 value. (This is like `C-c C-a' in psgml.)
211 * Have Gnus automagically set group parameters for mailing list
212 groups. For example, if I have a splitting rule that automatically
213 sorts ding@gnus.org into mail.ding, then Gnus should clue in, set
214 the to-list parameter to 'ding@gnus.org', and set total-expire.
215 (This is probably Hard (TM). And of course the user should be able
216 to configure what parameters exactly get set.)
218 * Along the same lines, automagically detect broken reply-to's. (But
219 don't auto-detect users legitimately setting a reply-to header that
220 points back to the list.)
222 * Make it easier to change parameters on a set of groups,
223 e.g. set/clear gcc-self on process-marked groups.
225 * Make it easier/possible to migrate between primary select-methods,
226 if that concept is going to be kept. Right now I have only one
227 group on my primary server, and I'd kind of like to change from nntp
228 to nnml, but apparently this doesn't work well.
230 * Make it possible to refer to uniquely-named groups without
231 select-method prefix (e.g. mail.misc instead of nnml:mail.misc).
233 * Allow a user-defined picons directory for personal groups.
235 * Annotations as discussed last autumn. Be able to make comments to
236 articles for all bakends. The comments amybe should go into a
237 seperate "backend", like nndraft.
239 * Catchup on a topic and all its subtopics. I.e. do "c y" when on a
240 topic line in *Group*.
242 * Better/more advanced subject washing in *Summary*, see my
243 js-gnus-simplify-subject-function I posted earlier this winter.
245 ;; From Newest Features node. Some are not done.
247 * I would like the zombie-page to contain an URL to the source of the
248 latest version of gnus or some explanation on where to find it.
250 * A way to continue editing the latest Message composition.
252 * http://www.sonicnet.com/feature/ari3/
254 * facep is not declared.
256 * Include a section in the manual on why the number of articles isn't
257 the same in the group buffer and on the SPC prompt.
259 * Interacting with rmail fcc isn't easy.

625 could provide the commands first while not changing the behavior of
626 the key bindings; then different people can experiment with
627 different key binding schemes until we find something which suits
630 * `Move to next/previous/first article' is a misnomer, since ticked
631 articles are also unread but not moved to by these commands. Should
632 the terminology be fixed or the documentation, or what?
634 * Allow sorting of threads by newest article rather than by root of
635 thread. Consider the following thread structure:
642 These two threads are sorted this way because root1 is older than
643 root2. I want an option to sort them the other way round because
644 leaf1 is newer than leaf2.
646 * Improve editing of MIME messages. I would like to use html-mode to
647 edit the body of a text/html message, and enriched-mode for
648 text/enriched messages, and so on. This should go for multipart
649 messages as well. This is probably a hard one since Emacs currently
650 does not allow several major modes per buffer. But maybe it would
651 be nice to hack Emacs to provide this infrastructure so that Gnus
652 can make use of it? This would also make it possible to provide
653 nifty commands for editing the headers, for example, rather than
654 relying on commands which do the same thing everywhere.
655 message-x.el is really just a half-assed attempt at doing it, and
656 while it is useful, that's not the way it should be done.
658 I think Francisco Potort
\e,Al
\e(B already did something like this?
660 * Provide commands for editing MML tags. For example, there could be
661 a command mml-add-tag-attribute which prompts me for an attribute
662 name (with completion, from the set filename, type, ...), and then
663 for a value. (This is like `C-c +' in psgml.) Or there could be a
664 command which showed me all the attributes in an MML tag and allows
665 me to use TAB to move between them, and then to edit each attribute
666 value. (This is like `C-c C-a' in psgml.)
668 * Have Gnus automagically set group parameters for mailing list
669 groups. For example, if I have a splitting rule that automatically
670 sorts ding@gnus.org into mail.ding, then Gnus should clue in, set
671 the to-list parameter to 'ding@gnus.org', and set total-expire.
672 (This is probably Hard (TM). And of course the user should be able
673 to configure what parameters exactly get set.)
675 * Along the same lines, automagically detect broken reply-to's. (But
676 don't auto-detect users legitimately setting a reply-to header that
677 points back to the list.)
679 * Make it easier to change parameters on a set of groups,
680 e.g. set/clear gcc-self on process-marked groups.
682 * Make it easier/possible to migrate between primary select-methods,
683 if that concept is going to be kept. Right now I have only one
684 group on my primary server, and I'd kind of like to change from nntp
685 to nnml, but apparently this doesn't work well.
687 * Make it possible to refer to uniquely-named groups without
688 select-method prefix (e.g. mail.misc instead of nnml:mail.misc).
690 * Allow a user-defined picons directory for personal groups.
692 * Annotations as discussed last autumn. Be able to make comments to
693 articles for all bakends. The comments amybe should go into a
694 seperate "backend", like nndraft.
696 * Catchup on a topic and all its subtopics. I.e. do "c y" when on a
697 topic line in *Group*.
699 * Better/more advanced subject washing in *Summary*, see my
700 js-gnus-simplify-subject-function I posted earlier this winter.
702 ;; The following come from newest features, but some are not implemented.
704 * nneething-look-in-files-for-article-heads variable to control
705 whether nneething should sniff all files in the directories.
707 * gnus-fetch-article - start Gnus, enter group, display article
709 * gnus-dont-move-articles-to-same-group variable when respooling.
711 * when messages are crossposted between several auto-expirable
712 groups, articles aren't properly marked as expirable.
714 * nneething should allow deletion/moving.
716 * TAB on the last button should go to the first button.
718 * if the car of an element in `mail-split-methods' is a function,
719 and the function returns non-nil, use that as the name of the
720 group(s) to save mail in.
722 * command for listing all score files that have been applied.
724 * a command in the article buffer to return to `summary' config.
726 * `gnus-always-post-using-current-server' - variable to override
727 `C-c C-c' when posting.
729 * nnmail-group-spool-alist - says where each group should use as a
732 * when an article is crossposted to an auto-expirable group, the
733 article should be marker as expirable.
735 * article mode command/menu for "send region as URL to browser".
737 * on errors, jump to info nodes that explain the error. For
738 instance, on invalid From headers, or on error messages from the
741 * when gathering threads, make the article that has no "Re: " the
742 parent. Also consult Date headers.
744 * a token in splits to call shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer
746 * `1 0 A M' to do matches on the active hashtb.
748 * duplicates - command to remove Gnus-Warning header, use the read
749 Message-ID, delete the "original".
751 * when replying to several messages at once, put the "other"
752 message-ids into a See-Also header.
754 * support setext: URL:http://www.bsdi.com/setext/
757 <URL:http://proletext.clari.net/prole/proletext.html>
759 * when browsing a foreign server, the groups that are already
760 subscribed should be listed as such and not as "K".
762 * generate font names dynamically.
764 * score file mode auto-alist.
766 * allow nndoc to change/add/delete things from documents. Implement
767 methods for each format for adding an article to the document.
769 * `gnus-fetch-old-headers' `all' value to incorporate absolutely
770 all headers there is.
772 * function like `|', but concatenate all marked articles and pipe
775 * cache the list of killed (or active) groups in a separate file.
776 Update the file whenever we read the active file or the list of
777 killed groups in the .eld file reaches a certain length.
779 * function for starting to edit a file to put into the current mail
782 * score-find-trace should display the total score of the article.
784 * "ghettozie" - score on Xref header and nix it out after using it
785 to avoid marking as read in other groups it has been crossposted
788 * look at procmail splitting. The backends should create the
789 groups automatically if a spool file exists for that group.
791 * function for backends to register themselves with Gnus.
793 * when replying to several process-marked articles, have all the
794 From end up in Cc headers? Variable to toggle.
796 * command to delete a crossposted mail article from all groups it
799 * `B c' and `B m' should be crosspost aware.
801 * hide-pgp should also hide PGP public key blocks.
803 * Command in the group buffer to respool process-marked groups.
805 * `gnus-summary-find-matching' should accept pseudo-"headers" like
806 "body", "head" and "all"
808 * When buttifying <URL: > things, all white space (including
809 newlines) should be ignored.
811 * Process-marking all groups in a topic should process-mark groups
812 in subtopics as well.
814 * Add non-native groups to the list of killed groups when killing
817 * nntp-suggest-kewl-config to probe the nntp server and suggest
820 * add edit and forward secondary marks.
822 * nnml shouldn't visit its .overview files.
824 * allow customizing sorting within gathered threads.
826 * `B q' shouldn't select the current article.
828 * nnmbox should support a newsgroups file for descriptions.
830 * allow fetching mail from several pop servers.
832 * Be able to specify whether the saving commands save the original
833 or the formatted article.
835 * a command to reparent with the child process-marked (cf. `T ^'.).
837 * I think the possibility to send a password with nntp-open-rlogin
838 should be a feature in Red Gnus.
840 * The `Z n' command should be possible to execute from a mouse
843 * more limiting functions - date, etc.
845 * be able to limit on a random header; on body; using reverse
848 * a group parameter (`absofucking-total-expiry') that will make
849 Gnus expire even unread articles.
851 * a command to print the article buffer as postscript.
853 * variable to disable password fetching when opening by
856 * manual: more example servers - nntp with rlogin, telnet
858 * checking for bogus groups should clean topic alists as well.
860 * canceling articles in foreign groups.
862 * article number in folded topics isn't properly updated by Xref
865 * Movement in the group buffer to the next unread group should go
866 to the next closed topic with unread messages if no group can be
869 * Extensive info pages generated on the fly with help everywhere -
870 in the "*Gnus edit*" buffers, for instance.
872 * Topic movement commands - like thread movement. Up, down,
875 * a way to tick/mark as read Gcc'd articles.
877 * a way to say that all groups within a specific topic comes from a
878 particular server? Hm.
880 * `gnus-article-fill-if-long-lines' - a function to fill the
881 article buffer if there are any looong lines there.
883 * `T h' should jump to the parent topic and fold it.
885 * a command to create an ephemeral nndoc group out of a file, and
886 then splitting it/moving it to some other group/backend.
888 * a group parameter for nnkiboze groups that says that all kibozed
889 articles should be entered into the cache.
891 * It should also probably be possible to delimit what
892 `gnus-jog-cache' does - for instance, work on just some groups, or
893 on some levels, and entering just articles that have a score
894 higher than a certain number.
896 * nnfolder should append to the folder instead of re-writing the
897 entire folder to disk when accepting new messages.
899 * allow all backends to do the proper thing with .gz files.
901 * a backend for reading collections of babyl files nnbabylfolder?
903 * a command for making the native groups into foreign groups.
905 * server mode command for clearing read marks from all groups from
908 * when following up multiple articles, include all To, Cc, etc
909 headers from all articles.
911 * a command for deciding what the total score of the current thread
912 is. Also a way to highlight based on this.
914 * command to show and edit group scores
916 * a gnus-tree-minimize-horizontal to minimize tree buffers
919 * command to generate nnml overview file for one group.
921 * `C-u C-u a' - prompt for many crossposted groups.
923 * keep track of which mail groups have received new articles (in
924 this session). Be able to generate a report and perhaps do some
925 marking in the group buffer.
927 * gnus-build-sparse-threads to a number - build only sparse threads
928 that are of that length.
930 * have nnmh respect mh's unseen sequence in .mh_profile.
932 * cache the newsgroups descriptions locally.
934 * asynchronous posting under nntp.
936 * be able to control word adaptive scoring from the score files.
938 * a variable to make `C-c C-c' post using the "current" select
941 * `limit-exclude-low-scored-articles'.
943 * if `gnus-summary-show-thread' is a number, hide threads that have
944 a score lower than this number.
946 * split newsgroup subscription variable up into "order" and
949 * buttonize ange-ftp file names.
951 * a command to make a duplicate copy of the current article so that
952 each copy can be edited separately.
954 * nnweb should allow fetching from the local nntp server.
956 * record the sorting done in the summary buffer so that it can be
957 repeated when limiting/regenerating the buffer.
959 * nnml-generate-nov-databses should generate for all nnml servers.
961 * when the user does commands in the group buffer, check the
962 modification time of the .newsrc.eld file and use
963 ask-user-about-supersession-threat. Also warn when trying to save
964 .newsrc.eld and it has changed.
966 * M-g on a topic will display all groups with 0 articles in the
969 * command to remove all topic stuff.
971 * allow exploding incoming digests when reading incoming mail and
972 splitting the resulting digests.
974 * nnsoup shouldn't set the `message-' variables.
976 * command to nix out all nnoo state information.
978 * nnmail-process-alist that calls functions if group names matches
979 an alist - before saving.
981 * use buffer-invisibility-spec everywhere for hiding text.
983 * variable to activate each group before entering them to get the
984 (new) number of articles. `gnus-activate-before-entering'.
986 * command to fetch a Message-ID from any buffer, even starting Gnus
989 * when posting and checking whether a group exists or not, just ask
990 the nntp server instead of relying on the active hashtb.
992 * buttonize the output of `C-c C-a' in an apropos-like way.
994 * `G p' should understand process/prefix, and allow editing of
995 several groups at once.
997 * command to create an ephemeral nnvirtual group that matches some
1000 * nndoc should understand "Content-Type: message/rfc822" forwarded
1003 * it should be possible to score "thread" on the From header.
1005 * hitting RET on a "gnus-uu-archive" pseudo article should unpack
1008 * `B i' should display the article at once in the summary buffer.
1010 * remove the "*" mark at once when unticking an article.
1012 * `M-s' should highlight the matching text.
1014 * when checking for duplicated mails, use Resent-Message-ID if
1017 * killing and yanking groups in topics should be better. If
1018 killing one copy of a group that exists in multiple topics, only
1019 that copy should be removed. Yanking should insert the copy, and
1020 yanking topics should be possible to be interspersed with the
1023 * command for enter a group just to read the cached articles. A
1024 way to say "ignore the nntp connection; just read from the cache."
1026 * `X u' should decode base64 articles.
1028 * a way to hide all "inner" cited text, leaving just the most
1029 recently cited text.
1031 * nnvirtual should be asynchronous.
1033 * after editing an article, gnus-original-article-buffer should be
1036 * there should probably be a way to make Gnus not connect to the
1037 server and just read the articles in the server
1039 * allow a `set-default' (or something) to change the default value
1042 * a command to import group infos from a .newsrc.eld file.
1044 * groups from secondary servers have the entire select method
1045 listed in each group info.
1047 * a command for just switching from the summary buffer to the group
1050 * a way to specify that some incoming mail washing functions should
1051 only be applied to some groups.
1053 * Message `C-f C-t' should ask the user whether to heed
1054 mail-copies-to: never.
1056 * new group parameter - `post-to-server' that says to post using
1057 the current server. Also a variable to do the same.
1059 * the slave dribble files should auto-save to the slave file names.
1061 * a group parameter that says what articles to display on group
1062 entry, based on article marks.
1064 * a way to visually distinguish slave Gnusae from masters. (Whip
1065 instead of normal logo?)
1067 * Use DJ Bernstein "From " quoting/dequoting, where applicable.
1069 * Why is hide-citation-maybe and hide-citation different? Also
1072 * group user-defined meta-parameters.
1074 From: John Griffith <griffith@sfs.nphil.uni-tuebingen.de>
1076 * I like the option for trying to retrieve the FAQ for a group and
1077 I was thinking it would be great if for those newsgroups that had
1078 archives you could also try to read the archive for that group.
1079 Part of the problem is that archives are spread all over the net,
1080 unlike FAQs. What would be best I suppose is to find the one
1081 closest to your site.
1083 In any case, there is a list of general news group archives at

1112 `M u <name> RET' remove label <name> from current message.
1113 `/ l <expr> RET' limit summary buffer according to <expr>.
1115 <expr> would be a boolean expression on the labels, e.g.
1117 `/ l bug & !fixed RET'
1119 would show all the messages which are labeled `bug' but not labeled
1122 One could also imagine the labels being used for highlighting, or
1123 affect the summary line format.
1125 * Sender: abraham@dina.kvl.dk
1127 I'd like a gnus-find-file which work like find file, except that it
1128 would recognize things that looks like messages or folders:
1130 - If it is a directory containing numbered files, create an nndir
1133 - For other directories, create a nneething summary buffer.
1135 - For files matching "\\`From ", create a nndoc/mbox summary.
1137 - For files matching "\\`BABYL OPTIONS:", create a nndoc/baby
1140 - For files matching "\\`[^ \t\n]+:", create an *Article* buffer.
1142 - For other files, just find them normally.
1144 I'd like `nneething' to use this function, so it would work on a
1145 directory potentially containing mboxes or babyl files.
1147 * Please send a mail to bwarsaw@cnri.reston.va.us (Barry A. Warsaw)
1148 and tell him what you are doing.
1150 * Currently, I get prompted:

1155 The problem above is that since there is really only one
1156 subsection of science, shouldn't it prompt you for only descending
1157 sci.something? If there was a sci.somethingelse group or section,
1158 then it should prompt for sci? first the sci.something? then

1166 * What i want is for Gnus to treat any sequence or combination of
1167 the following as a single spoiler warning and hide it all,
1168 replacing it with a "Next Page" button:
1172 more than n blank lines
1174 more than m identical lines (which should be replaced with button
1177 any whitespace surrounding any of the above
1179 * Well, we could allow a new value to `gnus-thread-ignore-subject' -
1180 `spaces', or something. (We could even default to that.) And then
1181 subjects that differ in white space only could be considered the
1182 "same" subject for threading purposes.
1184 * Modes to preprocess the contents (e.g. jka-compr) use the second
1185 form "(REGEXP FUNCTION NON-NIL)" while ordinary modes (e.g. tex)
1186 use the first form "(REGEXP . FUNCTION)", so you could use it to
1187 distinguish between those two types of modes. (auto-modes-alist,
1188 insert-file-contents-literally.)
1190 * Under XEmacs - do funny article marks: tick - thumb tack killed -
1191 skull soup - bowl of soup score below - dim light bulb score over
1194 * Yes. I think the algorithm is as follows:

1199 if (key-pressed == SPACE)
1200 if (no-more-articles-in-group-to-select)
1201 if (articles-selected)

1203 junk-unread-articles;
1208 else if (key-pressed = '.')
1209 if (consolidated-menus) # same as hide-thread in Gnus

1217 if (more-pages-in-article)
1219 else if (more-selected-articles-to-read)
1224 * My precise need here would have been to limit files to Incoming*.
1225 One could think of some `nneething-only-files' variable, but I
1226 guess it would have been unacceptable if one was using many
1227 unrelated such nneething groups.
1229 A more useful approach would be to, in response to the `G D'
1230 prompt, be allowed to say something like: `~/.mail/Incoming*',
1231 somewhat limiting the top-level directory only (in case
1232 directories would be matched by the wildcard expression).
1234 * It would be nice if it also handled
1236 <URL:news://sunsite.auc.dk/>
1238 which should correspond to `B nntp RET sunsite.auc.dk' in *Group*.
1240 * Take a look at w3-menu.el in the Emacs-W3 distribution - this
1241 works out really well. Each menu is 'named' by a symbol that
1242 would be on a gnus-*-menus (where * would be whatever, but at
1243 least group, summary, and article versions) variable.
1245 So for gnus-summary-menus, I would set to '(sort mark dispose ...)
1247 A value of '1' would just put _all_ the menus in a single 'GNUS'
1248 menu in the main menubar. This approach works really well for
1251 * nndoc should take care to create unique Message-IDs for all its
1254 * gnus-score-followup-article only works when you have a summary
1255 buffer active. Make it work when posting from the group buffer as
1256 well. (message-sent-hook).
1258 * rewrite gnus-demon to use run-with-idle-timers.
1260 * * Enhancements to Gnus:
1264 * gnus-servers (gnus-start-server-buffer?)-enters Gnus and goes
1265 straight to the server buffer, without opening any connections to
1268 * gnus-server-read-server-newsrc-produces a buffer very similar to
1269 the group buffer, but with only groups from that server listed;
1270 quitting this buffer returns to the server buffer.
1272 * add a command to check the integrity of an nnfolder folder - go
1273 through the article numbers and see that there are no duplicates,
1276 * `unsmileyfy-buffer' to undo smileification.
1278 * a command to give all relevant info on an article, including all
1281 * when doing `-request-accept-article', the backends should do the
1282 nnmail duplicate checking.
1284 * allow `message-signature-file' to be a function to return the
1285 value of the signature file.
1287 * In addition, I would love it if I could configure message-tab so
1288 that it could call `bbdb-complete-name' in other headers. So,
1289 some sort of interface like
1291 (setq message-tab-alist '((message-header-regexp
1292 message-expand-group) ("^\\(To\\|[cC]c\\|[bB]cc\\)"
1293 bbdb-complete-name)))
1295 then you could run the relevant function to complete the
1296 information in the header
1298 * cache the newsgroups file locally to avoid reloading it all the
1301 * a command to import a buffer into a group.
1303 * nnweb should allow fetching by Message-ID from servers.
1305 * point in the article buffer doesn't always go to the beginning of
1306 the buffer when selecting new articles.
1308 * a command to process mark all unread articles.
1310 * `gnus-gather-threads-by-references-and-subject' - first do
1311 gathering by references, and then go through the dummy roots and
1312 do more gathering by subject.
1314 * gnus-uu-mark-in-numerical-order - process mark articles in
1315 article numerical order.
1317 * (gnus-thread-total-score (gnus-id-to-thread (mail-header-id
1318 (gnus-summary-article-header)))) bind to a key.
1320 * sorting by score is wrong when using sparse threads.
1322 * a command to fetch an arbitrary article - without having to be in
1325 * a new nncvs backend. Each group would show an article, using

1430 og det er maks hundre tegn mellom match-end og ---linja. Men -det-
1431 er min type heuristikk og langt fra alles.
1433 * `gnus-subscribe-sorted' - insert new groups where they would have

1436 * gnus-(group,summary)-highlight should respect any `face' text
1437 props set on the lines.

1442 * add a way to select which NoCeM type to apply - spam, troll, etc.
1444 * nndraft-request-group should tally auto-save files.

1481 * One command to edit the original version if an article, and one to
1482 edit the displayed version.
1484 * `T v' - make all process-marked articles the children of the
1487 * Switch from initial text to the new default text mechanism.
1489 * How about making it possible to expire local articles? Will it be
1490 possible to make various constraints on when an article can be
1491 expired, e.g. (read), (age > 14 days), or the more interesting
1492 (read & age > 14 days)?

1521 * Propagate all group properties (marks, article numbers, etc) up to
1522 the topics for displaying.
1524 * `n' in the group buffer with topics should go to the next group
1525 with unread articles, even if that group is hidden in a topic.
1527 * gnus-posting-styles doesn't work in drafts.
1529 * gnus-summary-limit-include-cached is slow when there are many

1531 summary buffer for each article.
1533 * Implement gnus-batch-brew-soup.
1535 * Group parameters and summary commands for un/subscribing to mailing
1538 * Introduce nnmail-home-directory.

1548 groups it has been crossposted to, or something. (Agent.)
1550 * If point is on a group that appears multiple times in topics, and
1551 you press `l', point will move to the first instance of the group.
1553 * A spec for the group line format to display the number of
1554 agent-downloaded articles in the group.
1556 * Some nntp servers never respond when posting, so there should be a
1557 timeout for all commands.
1559 * When stading on a topic line and `t'-ing, point goes to the last
1560 line. It should go somewhere else.
1562 * I'm having trouble accessing a newsgroup with a "+" in its name
1563 with Gnus. There is a new newsgroup on msnews.microsoft.com named
1564 "microsoft.public.multimedia.directx.html+time" that I'm trying to
1566 "nntp+msnews.microsoft.com:microsoft.public.multimedia.directx.html+time"
1567 but it gives an error that it cant access the group.
1569 Is the "+" character illegal in newsgroup names? Is there any way
1570 in Gnus to work around this? (gnus 5.6.45 - XEmacs 20.4)
