But now I discovered the Agent NOV cache isn't enabled unless `gnus-agent' is non-nil. What about making `gnus-agent' default to t? It shouldn't do anything bad, I think. I've been setting it to t for ages without actually using the agent for reading offline. If something bad happens, maybe that should be fixed instead. The benefit would be that Gnus cached NOV headers for remote servers. No more "nntp read: 4711kb" when entering groups. I think this could speed things up considerably. Unfortunately you still need to add secondary servers to the Agent manually though, but perhaps that could be automized as well? Opinions?
