Save the current number of read/marked articles in the dribble buffer
and then save the dribble buffer ( |
gnus-exit-group-hook
is called when you exit the current
group.
If you're in the habit of exiting groups, and then changing your mind
about it, you might set gnus-kill-summary-on-exit
to nil
.
If you do that, Gnus won't kill the summary buffer when you exit it.
(Quelle surprise!) Instead it will change the name of the buffer to
something like `*Dead Summary ... *
' and install a minor mode
called gnus-dead-summary-mode
. Now, if you switch back to this
buffer, you'll find that all keys are mapped to a function called
gnus-summary-wake-up-the-dead
. So tapping any keys in a dead
summary buffer will result in a live, normal summary buffer.
There will never be more than one dead summary buffer at any one time.
The data on the current group will be updated (which articles you have
read, which articles you have replied to, etc.) when you exit the
summary buffer. If the gnus-use-cross-reference
variable is
t
(which is the default), articles that are cross-referenced to
this group and are marked as read, will also be marked as read in the
other subscribed groups they were cross-posted to. If this variable is
neither nil
nor t
, the article will be marked as read in
both subscribed and unsubscribed groups (see Crosspost Handling).
