Ideally I would be able to have it mark the articles as usual, but not carry out the corresponding action until I command it. For example, all articles I read will be marked R, but will continue to be shown in summary until I make them go away. Or if I choose to mark them as expunged, they will continue to show up and have the expunge mark until I actually issue the expunge command, etc. Is this somehow possible? I've tried to do it with the following: (defun my-add-ancient-articles (group articles) (if (string= group "news.software.readers") (append gnus-newsgroup-ancient articles) articles)) (setq gnus-alter-articles-to-read-function 'my-add-ancient-articles) I have also been unable to get it to set a mark with the article selection hooks. Another way to do it would be to have it set a mark based on a score, but it doesn't appear to be possible with the existing scoring rules. -- "The world of existence is an emanation of the merciful attribute of God."
