Subject: missing feedback
Date: Mon, 15 Apr 96 17:16:29 BST [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2645.9604151616@grogan.cogsci.ed.ac.uk> (raw)
I've just switched to Gnus (5.0.15) from gnus, and am largely happy,
but miss two bits of feedback:
1) The reassuring parade of article numbers in the message buffer
during long content searches (M-s, search-article-forward);
2) Some idea of what's happening during news reading: After
NNTP: Reading ........
I get a palpable (>10 seconds) pause before my few NNSPOOL method
groups (local fake mail-to-news stuff) start flickering by at the
limits of invisibility. What's happening during that dead time?
Also, is there any way to be saved from myself in a way which gnus
manages because .newsrc is actually in a buffer, namely that if I am
running Gnus on one machine, run it AGAIN (e.g. from home) and read a
bunch of news and exit, then quitting Gnus on the first machine the
next day DOESN'T notice that .newsrc[.eld] has changed and simply
overwrites?
