Only as mentioned in previous post (not on server when you wrote above) that it is handy to have a collection of messages under a topic named group. Far as I remember cacheing a message leaves it in its original group, is that correct? Or cacheing from NNTP groups, do those go to a single directory? > You say that you're editing messages.

By light I mean adding a keyword or two to Subject line or adding an entire new Keywords header. Rarely a full body edit, but sometimes. > But OTOH, why not allow editing of articles which are in the cache? > That might be a useful feature. Yeah and in conjuction with nnir could be used to create the cross group summary buffer I'd like to have. Assuming nnir can be aimed at the cache.
