Did you mean -ticked or something else rather than -unread? As a note I wouldnt put that fixed length empty string in - rather try and use padding formatting in the format string if its possible. > idea on how to do such? It's a cross fingers and hope for the best when hacking gnus ;) I only found that var by googling and staring at other similar examples. There often seems no rhyme nor reason to what is available but there invairably is ;) I asked a couple of times about how to determine what is available but didn't get much success. Digging in the code is the best advice I can give. best of luck! _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
