Just using the agent for the first time abroad in an attempt to cut online charges that result from the usb mobile network "roaming" cash cow. Plugged, adding a few nntp groups to the agent "default" category and then fetching data using Js, I then go unplugged. So far so good. I can read the fetched articles. If I quit Gnus then restart unplugged the article counts are massive e.g 2390233 for one group that I had already caught up with. If I go "plugged" then the count stays at that high number. Is there a remedy? release n0-15 Also the manual mentioned it not making much sense to add email methods to the agent. Why? It makes good sense in the travelling abroad use case where you want to plug your roaming data device in, fetch data and then pull it out before the OS starts downloading updates etc and incurring humongous roaming data bills. Couple with the send queue it seems highly desirable to add email groups to the agent.
