+;; Also know as the "wish list". Some are done. For the others, no
+;; promise when to be implemented.
+
+* 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.
+
+* I would like the zombie-page to contain an URL to the source of the
+latest version of gnus or some explanation on where to find it.
+
+* A way to continue editing the latest Message composition.
+
+* facep is not declared.
+
+* Include a section in the manual on why the number of articles isn't
+the same in the group buffer and on the SPC prompt.

+
+ 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>
+ (add-hook 'gnus-select-group-hook
+ (lambda ()
+ (gnus-group-add-parameter group
+ (cons 'gnus-group-date-last-entered (list (current-time-string))))))
+
+ (defun gnus-user-format-function-d (headers)
+ "Return the date the group was last read."
+ (cond ((car (gnus-group-get-parameter gnus-tmp-group 'gnus-group-date-last-entered)))
+ (t "")))
+
+* tanken var at n\e,Ae\e(Br du bruker `gnus-startup-file' som prefix (FOO)
+ til \e,Ae\e(B lete opp en fil FOO-SERVER, FOO-SERVER.el, FOO-SERVER.eld,
+ kan du la den v\e,Af\e(Bre en liste hvor du bruker hvert element i listen

+ startup-filer forskjellige steder.
+
+* 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
+ 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.
+
+* 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.
+
+* 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
+
+ [Done using `message-completion-alist'?]
+
+* 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.
+
+ [Done?]
+
+* 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.
+
+* A Date scoring type that will match if the article is less than a certain
+ number of days old. With - < > = (etc) that take floating point numbers and
+ match on the age of the article.
+
+* use the summary toolbar in the article buffer.
+
+* a command to fetch all articles that are less than X days old.
+
+* in pick mode, `q' should save the list of selected articles in the
+ group info. The next time the group is selected, these articles
+ will automatically get the process mark.
+
+* Isn't it possible to (also?) allow M-^ to automatically try the
+ default server if it fails on the current server? (controlled by a
+ user variable, (nil, t, 'ask)).
+
+ [Done by `gnus-refer-article-method'?]
+
+* make it possible to cancel articles using the select method for
+ the current group.
+
+* a new variable to control which selection commands should be
+ unselecting. `first', `best', `next', `prev', `next-unread',
+ `prev-unread' are candidates.
+
+* be able to select groups that have no articles in them to be able
+ to post in them (using the current select method).
+
+* be able to post via DejaNews.
+
+* `x' should retain any sortings that have been performed.
+
+* allow the user to specify the precedence of the secondary marks.
+ Also allow them to be displayed separately.
+
+* gnus-summary-save-in-pipe should concatenate the results from the
+ processes when doing a process marked pipe.
+
+* a new match type, like Followup, but which adds Thread matches on
+ all articles that match a certain From header.
+
+* a function that can be read from kill-emacs-query-functions to
+ offer saving living summary buffers.
+
+* a function for selecting a particular group which will contain
+ the articles listed in a list of article numbers/id's.
+
+* (add-hook 'gnus-exit-query-functions
+ '(lambda ()

+ (yes-or-no-p "New mail has arrived. Quit Gnus anyways? ")
+ (y-or-n-p "Are you sure you want to quit Gnus? "))))
+
+* all commands that react to the process mark should push the
+ current process mark set onto the stack.
+
+* gnus-article-hide-pgp Selv ville jeg nok ha valgt \e,Ae\e(B slette den
+ dersom teksten matcher
+ "\\(This\s+\\)?[^ ]+ has been automatically signed by"
+ og det er maks hundre tegn mellom match-end og ---linja. Men -det-
+ er min type heuristikk og langt fra alles.
+
+* `gnus-subscribe-sorted' - insert new groups where they would have
+ been sorted to if `gnus-group-sort-function' were run.
+
+* gnus-(group,summary)-highlight should respect any `face' text
+ props set on the lines.
+
+* nndraft-request-group should tally auto-save files.
+
+* implement nntp-retry-on-break and nntp-command-timeout.
+
+* gnus-article-highlight-limit that says when not to highlight
+ (long) articles.
+
+* nn*-spool-methods
+
+* Interrupting the agent fetching of articles should save articles.
+ Have the Agent write out articles, one by one, as it retrieves
+ them, to avoid having to re-fetch them all if Emacs should crash
+ while fetching.
+
+* command to open a digest group, and copy all the articles there
+ to the current group.
+
+* a variable to disable article body highlights if there's more than
+ X characters in the body.
+
+* handle 480/381 authinfo requests separately.
+
+* command to display all dormant articles.
+
+* gnus-auto-select-next makeover - list of things it should do.
+
+* a score match type that adds scores matching on From if From has
+ replied to something someone else has said.
+
+* `T v' - make all process-marked articles the children of the
+ current article.
+
+* Switch from initial text to the new default text mechanism.
+
+* How about making it possible to expire local articles? Will it be
+ possible to make various constraints on when an article can be
+ expired, e.g. (read), (age > 14 days), or the more interesting
+ (read & age > 14 days)?
+
+* New limit command--limit to articles that have a certain string in
+ the head or body.
+
+* Allow breaking lengthy NNTP commands.
+
+* gnus-article-highlight-limit, to disable highlighting in big
+ articles.
+
+* A command to send a mail to the admin-address group param.
+
+* Allow Gnus Agent scoring to use normal score files.
+
+* Rething the Agent active file thing. `M-g' doesn't update the
+ active file, for instance.
+
+* With dummy roots, `^' and then selecing the first article in any
+ other dummy thread will make Gnus highlight the dummy root instead
+ of the first article.
+
+* Propagate all group properties (marks, article numbers, etc) up to
+ the topics for displaying.
+
+* gnus-posting-styles doesn't work in drafts.
+
+* gnus-summary-limit-include-cached is slow when there are many
+ articles in the cache, since it regenerates big parts of the
+ summary buffer for each article.
+
+* Group parameters and summary commands for un/subscribing to mailing
+ lists.
+
+* Introduce nnmail-home-directory.
+
+* gnus-fetch-group and friends should exit Gnus when the user exits
+ the group.
+
+* Crossposted articles should "inherit" the % or mark from the other
+ groups it has been crossposted to, or something. (Agent.)
+
+* If point is on a group that appears multiple times in topics, and
+ you press `l', point will move to the first instance of the group.
+
+* A spec for the group line format to display the number of
+ agent-downloaded articles in the group.
+
+* Some nntp servers never respond when posting, so there should be a
+ timeout for all commands.
+
+* When stading on a topic line and `t'-ing, point goes to the last
+ line. It should go somewhere else.
+
+* When `#F', do:
+
+ Subject: Answer to your mails 01.01.1999-01.05.1999
+ --text follows this line--
+ Sorry I killfiled you...
+
+ Under the subject "foo", you wrote on 01.01.1999:

+
+* Allow "orphan" scores in the Agent scoring.
+
+ [done?]
+
+* - Edit article's summary line.
+ - End edit
+ - Sort lines in buffer by subject
+
+ --> the old subject line appears in Summary buffer, not the one that was
+ just changed to.
+
+* Remove list identifiers from the subject in the summary when doing
+ `^' and the like.
+
+* nnweb should include the "get whole article" article when getting
+ articles.
+
+* 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
+ written gets to be the child of the message you're commenting.
+
+* Handle external-body parts.
+
+ [done for some access types]
+
+* When renaming a group name, nnmail-split-history does not get the
