(My mail backend is nnfolder, and it is not registered with the agent.) Since I don't read from a pop server, there is no reason for Gnus to be plugged when reading mail. Am I doing something wrong? 2) When I start gnus with gnus-unplugged, various hooks don't seem to be run. For example, in my .gnus I have: (add-hook 'gnus-sum-load-hook '(lambda nil (define-key gnus-summary-mode-map "\C-i" 'jdc-gnus-summary-toggle-processable) (define-key gnus-summary-mode-map "J" 'jdc-gnus-group-select-a-group) (define-key gnus-summary-mode-map "i" 'jdc-gnus-group-select-inbox) (define-key gnus-summary-mode-map "/e" 'jdc-gnus-summary-limit-exclude-unwanted) )) After entering a summary buffer, the value of gnus-sum-load-hook is the lambda expression above, but gnus-summary-mode-map does not contain my customizations. Similar things happen in other buffers. 3) When I'm in a rush, or only have access to an expensive connection, I only want the agent to download headers and articles for the groups I think are most important. I thought maybe I could create a category called "important", which lists the important groups, and have the rest be in the default category. But if I do this, how do I tell the agent which categories I want it to use for this particular session? I guess I could change the predicate in default category to false when I only want to see important articles, but that seems a bit awkward. I also thought of adjusting gnus-agent-handle-level up and down as appropriate, but again this is awkward, and I already use levels to indicate other information. Any other ideas? 4) I saw a patch for using nnimap with the agent. Has anyone been using this? Does it work well? I've only started playing with nnimap. Thanks for any help, Dan -- Dan Christensen jdc@math.jhu.edu
