a couple of newbie questions with gnus

[Martin Jørgensen]

Hi,

1) Earlier today I could browse usenet-messages simply by clicking 
"enter" on top of the message in the "*Summary (group-name)*" window. 
But there was one news-group in which I must have screwed something up.

It didn't show me the messages anymore, but it instead it showed an "G." 
to the left, instead of the usual "R." (for read I suppose). This is in 
the group where it works:

R. [  11: Hadron Quark           ] Gnus+bbdb
 .     [  10: Henry Atting           ]
 .         [  11: Hadron Quark           ]
 .             [  26: Henry Atting           ]
 .                 [  25: Hadron Quark           ]

What does it mean if the "R." becomes a "G." ?


2) Another newbie question: What does that star mean in front of the 
group-name in the "*Group*"-buffer? Like here:

 6119: comp.lang.c
   46:*gnu.emacs.gnus

This group has a star, but comp.lang.c doesn't...?


3) How to mark all messages as read? In future sessions, I would also 
like only to see threads with new messages... That's how my thunderbird 
is set up now...


p.s. Well, I still need to learn to post with gnus so I've send this 
message from thunderbird - I'm also not too familiar with emacs, so I 
probably have a long way ahead of me...


Best regards / Med venlig hilsen
Martin Jørgensen
