gnus: Limiting
3.8 Limiting
============
It can be convenient to limit the summary buffer to just show some
subset of the articles currently in the group. The effect most limit
commands have is to remove a few (or many) articles from the summary
buffer.
Limiting commands work on subsets of the articles already fetched
from the servers. These commands don’t query the server for additional
articles.
‘/ /’
‘/ s’
Limit the summary buffer to articles that match some subject
(‘gnus-summary-limit-to-subject’). If given a prefix, exclude
matching articles.
‘/ a’
Limit the summary buffer to articles that match some author
(‘gnus-summary-limit-to-author’). If given a prefix, exclude
matching articles.
‘/ R’
Limit the summary buffer to articles that match some recipient
(‘gnus-summary-limit-to-recipient’). If given a prefix, exclude
matching articles.
‘/ A’
Limit the summary buffer to articles in which contents of From, To
or Cc header match a given address
(‘gnus-summary-limit-to-address’). If given a prefix, exclude
matching articles.
‘/ S’
Limit the summary buffer to articles that aren’t part of any
displayed threads (‘gnus-summary-limit-to-singletons’). If given a
prefix, limit to articles that are part of displayed threads.
‘/ x’
Limit the summary buffer to articles that match one of the “extra”
headers (To From Newsgroups)
(‘gnus-summary-limit-to-extra’). If given a prefix, exclude
matching articles.
‘/ u’
‘x’
Limit the summary buffer to articles not marked as read
(‘gnus-summary-limit-to-unread’). If given a prefix, limit the
buffer to articles strictly unread. This means that ticked and
dormant articles will also be excluded.
‘/ m’
Ask for a mark and then limit to all articles that have been marked
with that mark (‘gnus-summary-limit-to-marks’).
‘/ t’
Ask for a number and then limit the summary buffer to articles
older than (or equal to) that number of days
(‘gnus-summary-limit-to-age’). If given a prefix, limit to
articles younger than that number of days.
‘/ n’
With prefix ‘n’, limit the summary buffer to the next ‘n’ articles.
If not given a prefix, use the process marked articles instead.
(‘gnus-summary-limit-to-articles’).
‘/ w’
Pop the previous limit off the stack and restore it
(‘gnus-summary-pop-limit’). If given a prefix, pop all limits off
the stack.
‘/ .’
Limit the summary buffer to the unseen articles
(‘gnus-summary-limit-to-unseen’).
‘/ v’
Limit the summary buffer to articles that have a score at or above
some score (‘gnus-summary-limit-to-score’).
‘/ p’
Limit the summary buffer to articles that satisfy the ‘display’
group parameter predicate
(‘gnus-summary-limit-to-display-predicate’). Group
Parameters, for more on this predicate.
‘/ r’
Limit the summary buffer to replied articles
(‘gnus-summary-limit-to-replied’). If given a prefix, exclude
replied articles.
‘/ E’
‘M S’
Include all expunged articles in the limit
(‘gnus-summary-limit-include-expunged’).
‘/ D’
Include all dormant articles in the limit
(‘gnus-summary-limit-include-dormant’).
‘/ *’
Include all cached articles in the limit
(‘gnus-summary-limit-include-cached’).
‘/ d’
Exclude all dormant articles from the limit
(‘gnus-summary-limit-exclude-dormant’).
‘/ M’
Exclude all marked articles (‘gnus-summary-limit-exclude-marks’).
‘/ T’
Include all the articles in the current thread in the limit.
‘/ c’
Exclude all dormant articles that have no children from the limit
(‘gnus-summary-limit-exclude-childless-dormant’).
‘/ C’
Mark all excluded unread articles as read
(‘gnus-summary-limit-mark-excluded-as-read’). If given a prefix,
also mark excluded ticked and dormant articles as read.
‘/ b’
Limit the summary buffer to articles that have bodies that match a
certain regexp (‘gnus-summary-limit-to-bodies’). If given a
prefix, reverse the limit. This command is quite slow since it
requires selecting each article to find the matches.
‘/ h’
Like the previous command, only limit to headers instead
(‘gnus-summary-limit-to-headers’).
The following commands aren’t limiting commands, but use the ‘/’
prefix as well.
‘/ N’
Insert all new articles in the summary buffer. It scans for new
emails if BACK-END‘-get-new-mail’ is non-‘nil’.
‘/ o’
Insert all old articles in the summary buffer. If given a numbered
prefix, fetch this number of articles.
