It's an oooold setting, but seems to still be working. That is: > working a bit flaky, like the rest of the agent (I have some threads on > this with debug results posted to gmane.emacs.gnus.general). I had something set to do that too long ago... I may even have got info how to do it from you.... you've responded to so many of my queries here... but since Lars, friends, helpers... came along with gmane... any need to download kind of died out over time. Thanks for the helpful input. Can you tell me how to make the agent download messages with the download mark on them? most are already read. Some are not. I'm talking about several thousand messages from several groups. I've found how to get them marked fairly easily now, but only if ignore threads and just go for author. It seems there would be some sure-fire way to make the agent download marked messages... more or less regardless of other settings. Is there such a thing?
