Years, at least. Well, I finally upgraded to XEmacs 21.1.14 and Gnus 5.8.8. Cripes, this is cool. Lars et al.: Well done! The only unfortunate thing is that I had to lose most of my .newsrc.eld file. I couldn't get it started until I'd stripped down gnus-newsrc-alist, gnus-killed-list and gnus-topic-alist down to a bare minimum of groups. I'm not sure why. *And* xemacs is still taking up most of the memory on the system. "top" reports that xemacs-21.1.14 has SIZE = 93300K and RES = 54740K. (Quite a shock, really; even Mozilla 0.9 has SIZE = 60384K and RES = 13988K.) A plain ol' xemacs process takes up about 9MB, not 90MB. So is Gnus really sucking up this much memory? And finally: I'd like to resubscribe to newsgroups, but I'd like to do it, say, 40 at a time or so rather than trying to plug in the entire active list. Is there a convenient way of doing that? I'm Lisp-literate, if that helps.
