The > variable's docs and the info file should say what to do. If you flip it to nil, it'll stop the next time you enter a group, but, yes, changing the number doesn't do much. Perhaps the timer should just be restarted upon each group entry. I've now done this. > 3) Make the default 60 or 300.

Having it updated often is a good way to have any bugs (and there have been a lot) resulting from the update be tickled more often, so that it's possible to reproduce and fix. Once all the problems have been ironed out, we can consider lowering the update rate. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
