I thought I would look at cases just for fun.  Tell me if I am all
wet or otherwise wasting my time.

Sorry, I should have taken more care about correct syntax here. Well,
let's rephrase:

So far, I came to the solution to put into .gnus a function

(defun mk-gnus-server-buffer () "Add *Server* buffer to gnus"
   (interactive)
   (save-excursion
	   (gnus-group-enter-server-mode))
)

The idea is that this function could create a server-buffer if
automatically. I could then put it into gnus-started-hook to have the
server buffer created.

Interestingly, the save-excursion does not work as expected.  From the
documentation, I concluded that it should save the current buffer, and
restore it in the end; but when mk-gnus-server-buffer is executed,
Gnus switches to the server buffer and stays there, and I have to
switch back manually.

When you do from the Linux commandline a

  xmodmap -pm

what do you get? Maybe "Alt" is not properly defined as a meta key.

This is weird. Could you give more information about this kernel
message thing?

Also, when you do a M-x view-lossage, what keys do you find recorded
there after you have used alt-down and alt-up?

Use
B r runs `gnus-summary-respool-article'
in the summary buffer.

I can't remember whether this retains all marks or not.

converting group from nnml to nnfolder


I have a email group that I thought would benefit from being a
nnfolder rather than its current nnml backend.  So I typed G c and
changed its backend to nnfolder+private.

A new group was created in addition to the old nnml+private and new
articles are then shown in both the groups.  How do I delete the
nnml+private group completely from the face of the earth.

Moreover, when I enter the nnfolder+private: group with only one
message (say, via C-u SPC 1 RET) and then subsequently quit the group,
I get the following error.

/----

Simple answer is: don't think of it.

Every message, you edit, is a temp. file in this group; this allows
drafting of messages (sometimes I compose a message one day and finally
modify and send it another one) and improves error recovery (auto-saving
is nice, if you have power failures from time to time).

B-del -> del


How does one map the B-del key to the Delete key within the GNUS
keymap ( i.e. without affecting any other keymap in Emacs ) ?

Thanks,

Actually, the more sensible literal expectation would be the list
'(cons "text/html" mm-automatic-display); i.e., both cons and m-a-d
would be treated as uninterpreted symbols.

I'd say that's a bug, but you could probably work around it with
something like this:
(setq gnus-parameters
      `(("" ;; explicitly specify the defaults
         (mm-automatic-display ,mm-automatic-display)
         (mm-discouraged-alternatives ,mm-discouraged-alternatives))
        ("\\`nnslashdot[+:]" ;; override for nnslashdot groups
         (mm-automatic-display
          ,(cons "text/html" mm-automatic-display))

problems expiring articles

Sometimes when I leave a group, it says "Selecting deleted or
nonexistent buffer" and refuses to leave. I know this is because it's
trying to expire an article, so I go, I enter the archive group where
it's expiring to, I leave come back to the first group, and it has no
problems.

In other words, it seems to think the archive group has an open
buffer even though it doesn't...
