I'm agentizing the gmane.org server (actually it was agentized by default for me), and I'm using the following agent configuration: '(gnus-agent-consider-all-articles t) '(gnus-agent-enable-expiration (quote DISABLE)) '(gnus-select-article-hook (quote (gnus-agent-fetch-selected-article ... I think the first and the last are the most relevant ones. I have all messages, in the groups I'm interested in, on local disk. I don't have to do anything to make articles appear in the agent, but sometimes I do `J s' for the fun of it. If you don't want to risk losing all of your agent cache by invoking the agent expiring process, you want the second line too -- IIRC, the default is to expire stuff older than 7 days. (I do think agent expiring should be off by default, though.) Also, you want to use scoring to remove spam from the gmane.org groups. Type `W e' in the *Group* buffer and add: (("xref" ("gmane.spam.detected" -1000 nil s)) ; ("xref" ; ("gmane.mail.spam.spamassassin.sightings" -1000 nil s)) (mark-and-expunge -100)) Unfortunately, the spamassassin installation at gmane.org seem to miss a lot of spam, but I suppose I could use spam.el locally.
