There's a bunch of other possible functions, but none of them seem to work here (though nil might work nicely).

Org uses Gnus, but Gnus > should not be disturbed because of that. I agree. The method is a way to make Gnus act like a 'normal' MUA in mail groups. Combined with expiring it would give you almost the same work-flow, but in more 'traditionalist' manner, if e.g. TB represents a 'traditional' MUA. >> 1.

Just out of curiosity, 'cause I'm still not fully appreciating your setup; Say you have a mail X that's semi-interesting. Do you then, read it, mark it as unread, close the buffer, go back later, read it again and unread it? I used to use a similar setup in Thunderbird, though I would 'archive' boring emails ('expire' in Gnus, I guess) and keep the remaining read emails in my inbox together with new emails. Cheers, Rasmus -- I hear there's rumors on the, uh, Internets. . .
