It happens when you enter a group (even below > g-a-h-level) without having fetched the headers, e.g. `J j g J j'. Thanks... at least now I understand the mechanism involved. Maybe it wouldn't be so hard to write somekind of hook called by `g' that notices if gnus is in agent mode and notices if g-a-h-level is in force. And says something like.... "Wait! You are `unplugged'. Don't open this group unless you don't mind loosing all track of readedness. Be warned, the mighty `AGENT' manages all groups under HIS servers" > > Possibly, it is not a bug because "The Gnus Agent doesn't seem to work > like most other offline newsreaders." He he... Possibly it is a well thought out feature, the work of a savant, because "The Gnus Agent doesn't seem to work like *ANY* other offline reader."
