   A GNUS-specific poster would be very nice.

This would have to be very, very careful to avoid locking conflicts
with inews.  It's probably not a good idea, unless you desperately
want features you can't get with a new frontend to inews.  What
features do you think are missing?

   There should be a user variable to decide whether you get a "no
   more unread messages -- hit SPC" message or whether it just goes on
   to the next group without stopping.

I find the combination of
	(setq gnus-novice-user nil)
	(setq gnus-auto-select-next 'quietly)
	(setq gnus-auto-select-same t)
to be quite pleasant.  I used to use M-C-N and . a lot.  Now, I live
with my thumb on the space bar most of the time and it does what I
want: following subject threads and moving painlessly to the next
group.
