[Gnus] Mark unseen articles

Is there any way I can automatically mark all articles marked with the
gnus-unseen-mark with the gnus-unread-mark?

I don't think so, but you could build something like that out of a few
preliminary pieces. Note that "/ ." will limit to unseen articles, after
which you can mark all with "M P a", then mark as unread with "M-u".

Not particularly automatic, but you could get there from here...

You need a loop, a status check to see what it
is, a branch to determine what to do, and
a remark based on that.

Here is some Elisp to get you started. It will
require a rebuild tho because it is a function
to do something else, for sure.

Probably doing it manually or semi-manually
is faster unless you have a huge load or do
this every day.

But doing it with Elisp is always cooler :)

(defun gnus-summary-do-mark-region (char)
  (interactive "c mark: ")
  (save-excursion
    (let ((start (region-beginning))
          (end   (region-end)) )
      (goto-char start)
      (beginning-of-line)
      (while (< (point) end)
        (gnus-summary-mark-article (gnus-summary-article-number) char)
        (gnus-summary-find-next) ))))

(defun gnus-summary-mark-region ()
  (interactive)
  (when mark-active (call-interactively #'gnus-summary-do-mark-region) ))
