I realized people who use the nntp marks feature on purpose and usually read articles in the unplugged condition should set the gnus-agent-synchronize-flags variable to non-nil. 2005-09-20 Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen * gnus-agent.el (gnus-agent-synchronize-flags): Switch the default to nil, to be able to use Gnus at all. If the default switches to something else, then the function should be fixed not be exceedingly slow. 2004-07-09 Simon Josefsson * gnus-agent.el (gnus-agent-synchronize-flags): Revert to ask. Users will lose all flag changes made while unplugged with e.g. nntp unless flag synchronization happens, thus `nil' is not a good default. See numerous reports on ding mailing list. IMHO, we should set gnus-agent-synchronize-flags to t by default or synchronize at least nntp marks automatically when Gnus is re-plugged even if it takes time. I don't know how it is slow so far, though.
