It took me a while to figure out how to slow it down. Suggestions: 1) The info file doesn't say what gnus-article-update-date-headers can be set to besides nil. It should say that it can also be a number of seconds. The variable's documentation also doesn't say that it is measured in seconds. 2) After changing this variable, there is no change to the behaviour unless you restart emacs or do something else to restart the timer. The variable's docs and the info file should say what to do. 3) Make the default 60 or 300. There have been *lots* of people who wrote to say they don't like the default, and I doubt anyone would feel very strongly that it must be updated quickly. Dan
