I have gnus configured with - the nntp server agentized - gnus-read-active-file set to 'some - gnus-nov-is-evil set to nil - gnus-agent-cache is t - gnus-agent-fetch-selected-article in my gnus-select-article-hook hook. I also have article prefetch turned on. My problem is that when I enter some newsgroups (especially the gmane ones), gnus spends a long time downloading headers. This occurs even if there are only three or four new messages in the newsgroup. How can I make gnus only download the headers it needs? I thought gnus-agent was supposed to help here, but it doesn't appear to. Maybe my combination of settings is working against me here. Faried. -- ^self
