No, I mean - don't delete the articles that *are* in the buffer, just don't limit anymore. That is, errrm... Maybe this is what I mean: I don't want the "number of articles" limit to affect articles that are marked somehow: ticked, dormant, cached articles. Yea. That's it. Maybe. Something like that, anyway. >> What do people use that limit for, anyway? > > If I have a group with 25000 articles and only want the last 10. Yup. I was thinking of *keeping* the limit after the group has been entered and the initial articles to display have been chosen, sort of. See above. -- Hallvard
