Providing an argument to e.g. gnus-group-select-group enables me to fetch the N latest articles. But this becomes impractical when N grows beyond tens of thousands of articles. Is there currently a way to rather specify a range to be fetched, e.g. "articles 1 - 100", "articles 101 - 200" and so on? Thanks, Bjorn
