The docs doesn't say so, but I've assumed that if I start doing things in emacs, the demon will stop running. What I see is that gnus-demon-scan-news is run after I've started using emacs again. Is this because gnus-demon-scan-news actually started running before I touched the keyboard? Or is this a bug in the daemon stuff? Or is it never supposed to stop fetching once it has started? Thanx! - Steinar
