;; 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,Al(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.

* remove the "*" mark at once when unticking an article.
* `M-s' should highlight the matching text.
* when checking for duplicated mails, use Resent-Message-ID if
present.
* killing and yanking groups in topics should be better. If
killing one copy of a group that exists in multiple topics, only
that copy should be removed. Yanking should insert the copy, and
yanking topics should be possible to be interspersed with the
other yankings.

* 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

* 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.

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

then it should prompt for sci? first the sci.something? then
sci.somethingelse?...

* 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,
