I guess that depends on how often you need to fetch messages for the agent. I do it twice a day: when I head off from home in the morning and then again when I head for home. Keystrokes are straightforward: "q y M-x gnus RET J s J j" and then suspend my laptop... However, it would obviously be best if I could simply do "J s J j"... :) -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.0.50.1 + No Gnus v0.18
