gnus: Mail Group Commands

 
 3.26 Mail Group Commands
 ========================
 
 Some commands only make sense in mail groups.  If these commands are
 invalid in the current group, they will raise a hell and let you know.
 
    All these commands (except the expiry and edit commands) use the
 process/prefix convention (Process/Prefix).
 
 ‘B e’
      Run all expirable articles in the current group through the expiry
      process (‘gnus-summary-expire-articles’).  That is, delete all
      expirable articles in the group that have been around for a while.
      (Expiring Mail).
 
 ‘B C-M-e’
      Delete all the expirable articles in the group
      (‘gnus-summary-expire-articles-now’).  This means that *all*
      articles eligible for expiry in the current group will disappear
      forever into that big ‘/dev/null’ in the sky.
 
 ‘B DEL’
      Delete the mail article.  This is “delete” as in “delete it from
      your disk forever and ever, never to return again.” Use with
      caution.  (‘gnus-summary-delete-article’).
 
 ‘B m’
      Move the article from one mail group to another
      (‘gnus-summary-move-article’).  Marks will be preserved if
      ‘gnus-preserve-marks’ is non-‘nil’ (which is the default).
 
 ‘B c’
      Copy the article from one group (mail group or not) to a mail group
      (‘gnus-summary-copy-article’).  Marks will be preserved if
      ‘gnus-preserve-marks’ is non-‘nil’ (which is the default).
 
 ‘B B’
      Crosspost the current article to some other group
      (‘gnus-summary-crosspost-article’).  This will create a new copy of
      the article in the other group, and the Xref headers of the article
      will be properly updated.
 
 ‘B i’
      Import an arbitrary file into the current mail newsgroup
      (‘gnus-summary-import-article’).  You will be prompted for a file
      name, a ‘From’ header and a ‘Subject’ header.
 
 ‘B I’
      Create an empty article in the current mail newsgroups
      (‘gnus-summary-create-article’).  You will be prompted for a ‘From’
      header and a ‘Subject’ header.
 
 ‘B r’
      Respool the mail article (‘gnus-summary-respool-article’).
      ‘gnus-summary-respool-default-method’ will be used as the default
      select method when respooling.  This variable is ‘nil’ by default,
      which means that the current group select method will be used
      instead.  Marks will be preserved if ‘gnus-preserve-marks’ is
      non-‘nil’ (which is the default).
 
 ‘B w’
 ‘e’
      Edit the current article (‘gnus-summary-edit-article’).  To finish
      editing and make the changes permanent, type ‘C-c C-c’
      (‘gnus-summary-edit-article-done’).  If you give a prefix to the
      ‘C-c C-c’ command, Gnus won’t re-highlight the article.
 
 ‘B q’
      If you want to re-spool an article, you might be curious as to what
      group the article will end up in before you do the re-spooling.
      This command will tell you (‘gnus-summary-respool-query’).
 
 ‘B t’
      Similarly, this command will display all fancy splitting patterns
      used when respooling, if any (‘gnus-summary-respool-trace’).
 
 ‘B p’
      Some people have a tendency to send you “courtesy” copies when they
      follow up to articles you have posted.  These usually have a
      ‘Newsgroups’ header in them, but not always.  This command
      (‘gnus-summary-article-posted-p’) will try to fetch the current
      article from your news server (or rather, from
      ‘gnus-refer-article-method’ or ‘gnus-select-method’) and will
      report back whether it found the article or not.  Even if it says
      that it didn’t find the article, it may have been posted
      anyway—mail propagation is much faster than news propagation, and
      the news copy may just not have arrived yet.
 
 ‘K E’
      Encrypt the body of an article (‘gnus-article-encrypt-body’).  The
      body is encrypted with the encryption protocol specified by the
      variable ‘gnus-article-encrypt-protocol’.
 
    If you move (or copy) articles regularly, you might wish to have Gnus
 suggest where to put the articles.  ‘gnus-move-split-methods’ is a
 variable that uses the same syntax as ‘gnus-split-methods’ (Saving
 Articles).  You may customize that variable to create suggestions you
 find reasonable.  (Note that ‘gnus-move-split-methods’ uses group names
 where ‘gnus-split-methods’ uses file names.)
 
      (setq gnus-move-split-methods
            '(("^From:.*Lars Magne" "nnml:junk")
              ("^Subject:.*gnus" "nnfolder:important")
              (".*" "nnml:misc")))
