thx sivaram!
i looked into your folder idea and have solved my present problems with
B m command.

ya i haven't really grasped the scoring idea yet since i didn't even use
priorities in ordinary mail. i think there is a lot more i can do with
gnus, but i have to learn to think about things differently.

something i found useful is sacha chua's pages here:
http://sachachua.com/blog/2008/05/emacs-gnus-organize-your-mail/
so i'll go study those some more.

organization in gnus

2011-02-20 Thread prad
i'm trying develop more proper techniques for gnus now that i've used it for
a couple of months.

in a typical email system, i used folders. i don't know if this is a
good way or not to do things.

i know gnus offers levels which are like color settings for priority in
email, but i don't have an understanding of how to best use this yet -
or whether it can be a substitute for folders.

what methods of organization do people use with gnus for both email and news?
