I think there is an expectation that if Gnus is started plugged it should be able to get the article count from the server. If you think about it for a bit, it becomes obvious that there is no way to ensure that the count will be accurate. It just appears to be a bug and gets brought up in gnu.emacs.gnus every now and then. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.0g (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE4TA3Egl+vIlSVSNkRAuNwAKDvrznuyfp3JOdMOBTVDknF9pOQsACgjRRE HXhXDURlR/7rzi3pc8N92oo= =og55 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Rat \ Caution: Happy Fun Ball may suddenly Minion of Nathan - Nathan says Hi! \ accelerate to dangerous speeds.
