I don't really care about *how* it's done, at least for now. If it has
to download all headers (once!), that's fine with me.
Hm, thinking about that: When the agent is on, Gnus saves .overviews for
my mail folders. Those are sorted according my custom config
(gnus-thread-sort-functions), which is first by total score, then by
date, then by number, and for mail groups (except mailinglists) I don't
use scoring.
Would it be possible to use the overview files to only get the "latest"
100 articles, where "latest" means "according to my sorting"?
Bye,
Tassilo
