Is the transfer of articles really much faster, or just the display/thread building? I don't think the former can be done much faster in elisp. One thing I can imagine is that WL uses some sophisticated caching like the agent does in Gnus (which we all know is not very applicable to nnimap). > Is there any possibility to port that code into gnus? Not if you won't do it yourself. ;-) Bye, Tassilo -- A child of five could understand this! Fetch me a child of five!
