It may be off-topic to the subject, but I wish someone would redo maildir support in Emacs to handle message flags. I have maildir mailboxes and use conky to show mailbox status (new messages) then call gnus-group-get-new-news to refresh the mailbox display after the messages have been retrieved from fetchmail. The problem is that each message status is overwritten by gnus (no longer new to conky) and I am no longer notified of new messages on any workspace (sawfish) until I visit the gnus frame in another workspace. I could prevent refreshing the gnus mail status by preventing the gnus-group-get-new-news call (emacsclient) and keep the conky message status as new, but then I would still have to refresh the gnus frame to see the new messages. Others have had this dillema and I wish I could submit a patch to fix it but I don't have the elisp expertise. Or maybe I'm missing something? Maybe there is a better gnus/maildir/conky setup someone else has? -- Ben Kibbey _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
