After the initaial round of fetching all headers, subsequent fetching DTRT. Great work. This has also magically fixed the problem I had with the agent downloading articles again and again. So now everything works for me regardless of the value of `gnus-agent-consider-all-articles'. > I've committed this so that others can hack on it while I sleep :-) > Another reason is that tomorrow morning before I got to rush off to > catch the train, the agent fetching will be quicker :-) WIBNI `gnus-agent-consider-all-articles' could be made to respect `gnus-agent-expire-days' so it only tries to keep all articles frome the last n days in the agent? My server has some really complex expiry rules, in some groups the articles stay arount for months, but in some groups they expire after just a week or so. It seems like `gnus-agent-consider-all-articles' tries to keep all articles the server knows about in the agent. This can lead to cases where the agent first expires a bunch of articles and then fetches them again when you do a new fetch. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding something? -- Booting... /vmemacs.el
