You can tell gnus to hide a particular thread, so you do not have I vote for Gnus and scoring, too. Here's how I've set mine up: In ~/.gnus: (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.gmane.org")) (setq gnus-treat-hide-citation t) (setq gnus-use-adaptive-scoring t) (setq gnus-default-adaptive-score-alist '((gnus-unread-mark) (gnus-ticked-mark (subject 10)) (gnus-killed-mark (subject -5)) (gnus-catchup-mark (subject -1)))) ; change this to real address, of course (setq user-mail-address "example@example.com") After you set up your ~/.gnus, use M-x gnus to start. Go into the news.gmane.org server (use ^ to see the list of servers if you don't see the gmane server listed) and find gmane.emacs.orgmode. I think you can use u to toggle subscription/unsubscription. Adaptive scoring means that if you kill a thread you're not particularly interested in, it lowers the score on that one, so any replies are shown with a negative score. You can also configure it to hide messages with scores below a certain threshold, so you don't even see replies. I also have some more rules that score things up if they mention my name or other things I'm interested in. =) Hope that helps! Sacha
