nnrss doesn't work at all for me.
I'm using Gnus 5.10.6 (as distributed with XEmacs, where I'm using the Fedora Core 2 RPMs for the latter). The manual distributed with XEmacs doesn't mention rss, but googling for 'gnus rss' turns up <http://www.gnus.org/manual/gnus_193.html>. The manual on that web page claims to be for Gnus 5.10.2; frankly, I'm dubious about that. So: * Should I expect to be able to use nnrss with 5.10.6? (And what Gnus version is the online manual for?) Anyways, optimistically following the instructions listed on that web page, I type 'B', then nnrss, then enter http://slashdot.org/slashdot.rss. It asks me if I want to download extra categories. If I answer 'n', I get an empty buffer. If I answer 'y', I get a buffer looking like this: K 0: Business: general.CRM news K 0: Business: general.Entrepreneur news K 0: Business: general.Human resources news K 0: Business: general.IP and patents news K 0: Business: general.Job markets news K 0: Business: general.Law news ... Which isn't very useful. Am I doing something wrong, does nnrss just not work with the version of Gnus I'm using, or what?

xemacs crash with gnus, x86_64

If not, how can I help figure out what's going on? I'm happy (or at least willing :-) ) to rebuild XEmacs myself to improve debuggability, if that's necessary. Hmm: the fact that touching .newsrc, which (I think) forces .newsrc.eld to be rebuilt, has an effect, suggests that there might be an issue with reading the latter; it's a bit long to include in a newsgroup posting, but I'm happy to e-mail it to people if that would help.

limiting articles and tagging
I'd like a way to mark certain articles in an nnmail group with a tag (e.g. articles I want to respond to, articles where I'm waiting for a specific response), and then to have a way to only see the matching articles in that group. (I don't need an open-ended set of tags, though I wouldn't mind that; having three or four user-defined tags is all I really need.) I've been looking at the manual sections on "Marking Articles" and "Limiting", and it seems like a lot of the underlying functionality is in place, but I can't quite figure out a way to do exactly what I want; can somebody offer advice?

Thanks, I'll look into that - that sounds like it might be a good fit for me, too.

I think ! and ? is barely too small for me, but maybe that will work. I'll start with org-mode, though, since it seems to be getting several votes.

Thanks for the responses so far. I'm still considering org-mode; I
haven't yet given up on an internal-to-gnus solution, though.
I looked at the existing marks; I don't think they'll do the trick,
and unfortunately the marks mechanism doesn't seem like it's
extensible at all. Browsing through the other gnus-summary-limit
functions, though, "gnus-summary-limit-to-extra" caught my eye.
Just what are the consequences of adding a header to
gnus-extra-headers? I'm thinking that I could add in another header
there ("X-Tag", say), write some simple commands to edit messages to
add/modify the X-Tag: header in the current article, and write some
wrappers to gnus-summary-limit-to-extra to pick out the articles that
I want.
Does that sound like it should work? Are there any gotchas I should
know about before I start tinkering with it? I'm worried that there
might be some index of the extra headers for articles that could cause
problems if I go this route, or something like that.
Also, gnus-summary-limit-to-extra doesn't look that complicated; could
I write a function that does something similar to it but doesn't care
about gnus-extra-headers? gnus-summary-limit-to-extra calls
gnus-summary-find-matching; when looking through the latter function,
at first I was afraid that it depends on there being a
narrowly-defined set of mail-header-XXX functions, but will
mail-header-extra work with an arbitrary header, will gnus-data-header
return all the headers?
Obviously, I'm not too familiar with the Gnus code base; I'm happy to
do some experimentation, but any tips that people had would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
David Carlton

I poked around some more; the bad news is that, no, gnus-data-header
only returns some of the headers (including ones in
gnus-extra-headers), but the good news is that now the code makes a
bit more sense to me, and I'm less worried about some sort of weird
cache being there that I'm not aware of. So I think I'll try that
route when I have a few spare minutes, unless somebody knows why it's
a bad idea...
