gnus-agent-catchup

[Robert Epprecht]

Up to now I could do '@' on some lines in an agentized summary buffer
to tell the agent to download the articles next time, and the following
`J c' would *not* touch them.  Now it *does*, which I do not like.

Consulting the documentation I see that it *is* consistent with it:

`@'
     Toggle whether to download the article (`gnus-agent-toggle-mark').

`J c'
     Mark all undownloaded articles as read (`gnus-agent-catchup').

hmm...

How would this sound to you?

'J c' 
    "Mark all articles that are neither cached, downloaded, nor
    downloadable as read."

I added the cached test as my testing found that gnus-agent-catchup
marked cached articles as read.

Yes, that sounds ok to me.


Maybe I would prefer to say first what it *does*
(but then I'm not a native speaker)

     "Mark all articles as read that are neither cached, downloaded,
     nor downloadable.


Now I wait for the Agent to do so...
(as it still markes downloadables as read here)


Thanks a lot for all the wonderful work on the Agent :-)
