I've always loved this idea in principle, but just never enabled it. So now I have. What I love: Dang. Spam and velveeta just completely disappears in handfuls. It's not perfect---I'm afraid that's going to have to wait for the long-awaited gnus-ai.el---but it makes reading Usenet a lot more interesting. What I hate: My gawd, it takes forever. Starting Gnus this morning took well over an hour (on a lightly loaded 200MHz Pentium FreeBSD 3.2 box with a 384K DSL link). Some questions: 1. Is there a way to run NoCeM asynchronously? 2. Is there a way to shorten the process---perhaps a support program to prefetch and preprocess the NoCeM articles into a form that Gnus can process a lot faster? 3. Is there an easy way to divide up the gnus-group-get-new-news function into two functions: gnus-group-get-new-news (which obeys NoCeM) and gnus-group-get-new-mail (which doesn't)? (This doesn't matter if either 1 or 2 can be answered in the positive.) However, I should point out that I'm gradually incorporating my email (finally) into Gnus, and dang, I love this thing. Only 80 more old mailfolders and a LOT of procmail recipes to go. :) ---Ken
