Another way is to temporary disable nntp > servers via server buffer :-( I do not like that approach. Something that will make the above procedure alot less painful is to put all mail groups on level 1. Then pressing 'J j' then `1 g' will only scan mail. Newsgroups will not be called for unless they are at level one. (The news group level default is 3) Still a bit of a job to go plugged then a `1 g' but you won't have to wait for any nntp servers. I wonder if it is possible to have gnus be able to scan mail locally when "unplugged" ..... Lars?
