Ways Marks, Up: Marking Articles

Setting Marks

------------- All the marking commands understand the numeric prefix.

`M t'

`!' Tick the current article (`gnus-summary-tick-article-forward').

`M ?'

`?' Mark the current article as dormant (`gnus-summary-mark-as-dormant').

`M d'

`d' Mark the current article as read (`gnus-summary-mark-as-read-forward').

`M k'

`k' Mark all articles that have the same subject as the current one as read, and then select the next unread article (`gnus-summary-kill-same-subject-and-select').

`M K'

`C-k' Mark all articles that have the same subject as the current one as read (`gnus-summary-kill-same-subject').

`M C' Mark all unread articles in the group as read (`gnus-summary-catchup').

`M C-c' Mark all articles in the group as read--even the ticked and dormant articles (`gnus-summary-catchup-all').

`M H' Catchup the current group to point (`gnus-summary-catchup-to-here').

`C-w' Mark all articles between point and mark as read (`gnus-summary-mark-region-as-read').

`M V k' Kill all articles with scores below the default score (or below the numeric prefix) (`gnus-summary-kill-below').

`M c'

`M-u' Clear all readedness-marks from the current article (`gnus-summary-clear-mark-forward').

`M e'

`E' Mark the current article as expirable (`gnus-summary-mark-as-expirable').

`M b' Set a bookmark in the current article (`gnus-summary-set-bookmark').

`M B' Remove the bookmark from the current article (`gnus-summary-remove-bookmark').

`M V c' Clear all marks from articles with scores over the default score (or over the numeric prefix) (`gnus-summary-clear-above').

`M V u' Tick all articles with scores over the default score (or over the numeric prefix) (`gnus-summary-tick-above').

`M V m' Prompt for a mark, and mark all articles with scores over the default score (or over the numeric prefix) with this mark (`gnus-summary-clear-above'). The `gnus-summary-goto-unread' variable controls what action should

be taken after setting a mark. If non-`nil', point will move to the

next/previous unread article. If `nil', point will just move one line

up or down. As a special case, if this variable is `never', all the

marking commands as well as other commands (like `SPACE') will move to

the next article, whether it is unread or not. The default is `t'.
