FWIW I've been using gnus for ~1year (moved from VM) and I find that the gnus "ticks" are perfect for this sort of workflow -- if I tick an article is persists and I know I need to respond at some point, if I don't tick an article is disappears -- hidden but still in my inbox until it is automatically archived after a month or so. _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
