gnus: Group Buffer
2.18 Misc Group Stuff =====================

· Group Timestamp Making Gnus keep track of when you last read a group.
· File Commands Reading and writing the Gnus files.
· Sieve Commands Managing Sieve scripts.
‘v’
The key ‘v’ is reserved for users. You can bind it to some command
or better use it as a prefix key. For example:
(define-key gnus-group-mode-map (kbd "v j d")
(lambda ()
(interactive)
(gnus-group-jump-to-group "nndraft:drafts")))
On keys reserved for users in Emacs and on keybindings in general
Keymaps (emacs)Keymaps.
‘^’
Enter the server buffer (‘gnus-group-enter-server-mode’).
Server Buffer.
‘a’
Start composing a message (a news by default)
(‘gnus-group-post-news’). If given a prefix, post to the group
under the point. If the prefix is 1, prompt for a group to post
to. Contrary to what the name of this function suggests, the
prepared article might be a mail instead of a news, if a mail group
is specified with the prefix argument. Composing Messages.
‘m’
Mail a message somewhere (‘gnus-group-mail’). If given a prefix,
use the posting style of the group under the point. If the prefix
is 1, prompt for a group name to find the posting style.
Composing Messages.
‘i’
Start composing a news (‘gnus-group-news’). If given a prefix,
post to the group under the point. If the prefix is 1, prompt for
group to post to. Composing Messages.
This function actually prepares a news even when using mail groups.
This is useful for “posting” messages to mail groups without
actually sending them over the network: they’re just saved directly
to the group in question. The corresponding back end must have a
request-post method for this to work though.
‘G z’
Compact the group under point (‘gnus-group-compact-group’).
Currently implemented only in nnml (Mail Spool). This
removes gaps between article numbers, hence getting a correct total
article count.
Variables for the group buffer:
‘gnus-group-mode-hook’
is called after the group buffer has been created.
‘gnus-group-prepare-hook’
is called after the group buffer is generated. It may be used to
modify the buffer in some strange, unnatural way.
‘gnus-group-prepared-hook’
is called as the very last thing after the group buffer has been
generated. It may be used to move point around, for instance.
‘gnus-permanently-visible-groups’
Groups matching this regexp will always be listed in the group
buffer, whether they are empty or not.
