No. J S sends posts, J s downloads them. 8^) However, J s normally downloads all groups. This can be changed by adding groups you want to download to specific categories, and change the default category not to download anything. Then you'll still get headers for all groups (I think....) but you won't download articles from those groups unless you've entered the group and specifically marked articles for downloading. > And categories are just finer control for downloading and > you can't specify which category you want to have respected > when J S is requested? Not really, no. Gnus respects all categories when doing an agent download. > --> Is the solution to move the goups that I do not want > the agent to download above the gnus-agent-handle-level? That, or the category stuff I mentioned above. If you sometimes want to download them all, sometimes not, maybe some lisp could frob the categories.... -- Alan Shutko - In a variety of flavors!
