I have an agent category of `true' where I put groups I want to download all messages. But really I want to download all from some semi-recent time. For example: If the group is on gmane for long it will have a serious number of message in it, maybe 50,000 or so. I want to download only since I got interested in whatever. Say starting Dec 1 2005. But if I've entered the group in category `true' and run an agent-fetch on that group it will try to download the whole spool on gmane for that group. What do I need to do to get stuff downloaded since Dec 1 2005 only?
