4.7.4 Setting Marks

All the marking commands understand the numeric prefix.

M c ¶

M-u

Clear all readedness-marks from the current article (gnus-summary-clear-mark-forward). In other words, mark the article as unread.

M t ¶

!

Tick the current article (gnus-summary-tick-article-forward). See Article Caching.

M ? ¶

?

Mark the current article as dormant (gnus-summary-mark-as-dormant). See Article Caching.

M d ¶

d

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

D ¶

Mark the current article as read and move point to the previous line (gnus-summary-mark-as-read-backward).

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 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 (before the point) (gnus-summary-catchup-to-here).

M h ¶

Catchup the current group from point (after the point) (gnus-summary-catchup-from-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 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 SPC) will move to the next article, whether it is unread or not. The default is t.
