Documentation

If non-nil, select an article on group entry.

An article is selected automatically when entering a group e.g. with SPC (gnus-group-read-group), or via gnus-summary-next-page or gnus-summary-catchup-and-goto-next-group.

Which article is selected is controlled by the variable gnus-auto-select-subject.

If you want to prevent automatic selection of articles in some newsgroups, set the variable to nil in gnus-select-group-hook.
