Subject: gnus-fetch-old-headers, big groups and old marks
Date: Thu, 03 Nov 2011 00:35:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87d3danlmu.fsf@nzebook.haselwarter.org> (raw)
I set gnus-verbose to 10 for some testing and was quite surprised to see
some 4000kB being fetched when I entered gmane.emacs.orgmode .
It seems that when gnus-fetch-old-headers is non-nil it fetches old
headers for ticked messages, which makes it practically unusable for big
groups. Wouldn't it be nicer if gnus started by fetching "old" headers
for the most recent articles of the group (ie especially the unread
ones) and stop once as many as specified in gnus-fetch-old-headers are
retrieved?
I guess the current strategy is somehow based on the oldest article and
tries to fetch everything with one connection to keep things
efficient. However, for me this strategy means I have to turn this neat
feature off :/
Can you Make It Work™?
