Hm, nope, my I idea was a bit different. I've thought that it could be possible to have something like an overview file which contains lines for all articles in a group with the user-defined sorting. Generation of that file of course requires fetching all headers, but only once. Updates could then be done incrementally [1]. Then C-u [-]100 RET would simply mean use the top/bottom 100 lines of that file for the summary. Well, at least that's the idea. Bye, Tassilo __________ [1] Don't ask me how!
