Subject: bug#38466: 26.3; Gnus setting large-newsgroup-initial to "All"/nil defaults to gnus-large-newsgroup if display is set to all
Date: Mon, 02 Dec 2019 20:23:15 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <80h82i9gwc.fsf@felesatra.moe> (raw)
Setting the group parameter large-newsgroup-initial to nil (meaning
"All") makes the default number of articles to show when prompted to be
the max, when there are more articles than gnus-large-newsgroup.
However, the default is equal to gnus-large-newsgroup if the group
parameter display is also set to all.
This is annoying when viewing nnimap groups where I want to show all
messages by default. Due to the way group size estimation works by
subtracting min/max article numbers, the estimate for nnimap groups is
often very inflated, so I am almost always prompted to enter the number
of articles to show, which defaults to gnus-large-newsgroup rather than
the max.
I don't want to disable gnus-large-newsgroup entirely since it's useful
for actual newsgroups.
