Please send replies to both lists. ] In Gnus, scanning for new articles in a remote nndir group never finds new articles unless you kill the corresponding "*ftp ftp@foo.bar.dom*" buffer first. This is because determining the "active file" information is done by listing the directory and ange-ftp caches the directory listing. Any suggestions for a good solution? The best solution would keep the internals of Gnus and Ange-FTP separated. -- Joe Wells
