;; Also know as the "wish list". Some are done. For the others, no
;; promise when to be implemented.
+* Go through the todo list and remove items already done.
+
+* Add Message-IDs or URLs refering to relevant discussions on lists and
+ newsgroups.
+
+* Use nicer icons, especially group, summary and message mode
+
+ Only basic and frequently used commands should have an icons.
+ Maybe use Gnome icons if we can (copyright assignment?). See
+ http://theotp1.physik.uni-ulm.de/~ste/comp/emacs/gnus/tool-bar/ for a
+ suggestion.
+
+* nnweb doesn't work properly.
+
+ Due to changes in the HTML output of Google Groups and Gmane, stuff related
+ to web groups (gnus-group-make-web-group) doesn't work anymore.
+
+ Fetching an article by MID (cf. gnus-refer-article-method) over Google
+ Groups should work.
+
+* Merge `message-extra-wide-headers' and ` message-header-synonyms'?
+
+* Maybe texi/emacs-mime.texi could be divided into user-visible stuff and
+ reference manual for the MIME library.
+
+* texi/gnus-coding.texi should be fixed.

* gnus-topic-kill-region
From Colin Marquardt <colin.marquardt@usa.alcatel.com>
Implement NOV caching with Gnus Agent.
-* Multiple charsets for topic names.
-
- [Done]
-
* Allow specification of server in Newsgroups header
[Kai wrote]
Thanks for Micha Wiedenmann for this suggestion.
-* Understand mail-user-agent. Maybe gnus-mail-user-agent.
-
- [Done]
-
-* Emphasis delimiters show when `W W c'.
-
- [Fixed]
-
* Parsing of the common list confirmation requests so that Gnus can
prepare the response with a single command. Including LISTSERV
periodic ping messages and the like.
-* Parsing of the various List-* headers to enable automatic commands
- like "send help message," "send unsubscribe message," and the like.
-
- [done, see gnus-ml.el]
-
* Parsing of the subscription notice to stash away details like what
address you're subscribed to the list under (and automatically send
mail to the list using that address, when you send mail inside the list
Most likely using jka-compr. (It has been suggested that this do
work but I think it should be verified for all backends.)
-* Support for RFC2015, PGP-MIME. Probably has to involve the people in
- the Mailcrypt project.
-
- [done]
-
* Agent (Can someone write some subtopics here? I don't use it myself
so I don't know what is lacking.)
posted on gnu.emacs.gnus does this.
Also, gnus-article-encrypt `K E' encrypts the article body.]
-* The stuff on "Newest Features" in the manual should be implemented
- and the node updated (it maybe is?).
-
* Splitting .newsrc.eld so the history is in one file and the
configuration is in another. To help those that reads at two
locations (e.g. work and home) and want to have the same
you want to instantiate, and what mail should land in each?
[/viz./ problem of nnmail-split-methods interface.]
+ [Probably `assistant.el' will provide this. But it's development is
+ stalled.]
+
* Full integration of nnir into Gnus. Generic hooks for adding new
external nnir sources. I use a couple experimental, in-house tools
(JPRC is a research lab, occupied with document analysis and machine
* A possibility to add notes to messages. If thouse could include links
to other (stored) messages this would be very practical.
-* A nnfolder like backend with .overview files.
- This would not only speed up things, but also allow nnir to work on it.
-
- [done]
-
* Allow article editing in groups which do not support it, but
emulating it via deleting the old article and entering the new one
into the group. This would be very useful to support `T ^' (say) in
cached-but-unticked ones.) This would become even more important
when we allow labels.
-* Go through the todo list and remove items already done.
-
* Create new data type `article identifier' and use that instead of
article numbers. A first implementation could offer something like
(num . 4711) but this could be extended. This would be useful for
thread should always be hidden (as in `T h') by default, while most
other threads are not hidden by default. Hm.
-* New backend between nnfolder and nnml: have more than one article
- per file, but more than one file per group. With .overview files.
-
- [done. nnfolder has .overview. Backward- and forward-compatible
- between 1.0 and 2.0. (setq nnfolder-nov-is-evil t) disables the
- feature]
-
-* .overview files for nnfolder?
-
- [done]
-
* New backend nnbabylfolder. There is also nnbabyl which is like
nnmbox but uses babyl format, but there is no babyl format
equivalent of nnfolder.
* nndir doesn't read gzipped files.
-* FAQ doesn't have an up node?
-
* when moving mail from a procmail spool to the crash-box, the
crash-box is only appropriate to one specific group.
-* `t' `t' makes X-Faces disappear.

unread.
* move nnmail-split-history out to the backends.
-* nnweb doesn't work properly.

instead
-* C-c C-f C-e to add an Expires header.
-
* go from one group to the next; everything is expunged; go to the
next group instead of going to the group buffer.
* support ProleText:
<URL:http://proletext.clari.net/prole/proletext.html>
-* when browsing a foreign server, the groups that are already
- subscribed should be listed as such and not as "K".
-
- [done]
-
* generate font names dynamically.
* score file mode auto-alist.
* `gnus-summary-find-matching' should accept pseudo-"headers" like
"body", "head" and "all"
-* When buttifying <URL: > things, all white space (including
- newlines) should be ignored.

* Process-marking all groups in a topic should process-mark groups
in subtopics as well.
* nnmbox should support a newsgroups file for descriptions.

* Be able to specify whether the saving commands save the original

matches.
* a group parameter (`absofucking-total-expiry') that will make
Gnus expire even unread articles.

nntp-open-telnet.
