Subject: Summarize from a partial NNTP read
Date: 21 Jun 1998 19:21:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <HBF.980621d37d@bombur2.uio.no> (raw)
Sometimes the NNTP server is slow and I want to get at some articles
instead of waiting for more headers.
Sometimes the server hangs when it has sent 40-200 K headers. (Well,
Gnus hangs anyway, I don't know what the server is doing.)
In both cases, I'd like to ^G and generate a *Summary* of the headers
that the server did manage to send. Is that possible?
Today I ^G and try to fetch the group again, but this time with fewer
articles at a time. So I must wait for the same headers to be fetched
all over again.
