You could use the gnus-registry to store a "downloaded" flag for every message that's been downloaded. The extra fields are for that kind of ancillary information. If you do use the gnus-registry like this, you do *not* have to set the size to unlimited. It won't remove entries with extra data when it prunes old entries. If you don't see a message in the gnus-registry, it hasn't been noticed (messages are noticed when you enter a group, when splitting places them, and when a copy/move/delete operation happens). I don't know if that would help you, the extra data approach seems more reliable. Ted
