Or do you mean "rebuild the existing .overview" file? I sometimes get hosed .overview files in ~/News/agent. It would be nice if it was possible to delete them and then to tell Gnus to go through the articles already downloaded and to make a small .overview file which contains data about those articles. The next time I enter the group the .overview file will then contain more data fetched from the server, I guess. It would just be a help for developing Gnus, I don't expect that normal users will use it a lot. kai -- ~/.signature is: umop ap!sdn (Frank Nobis)
