160: How do I make Gnus behave more like nn, where I scan all the messages and select the ones I want before I read any? Include this Lisp form in your .emacs file: (setq gnus-auto-select-first nil gnus-auto-select-next 'quietly) When you enter a group, mark the articles you don't want using `d' and `C-k', then expunge the ones so marked with `x'. Move to the first article with `M-<', and start reading (with SPC).
