Hi,
I know I can set gnus-large-newsgroup to 42 to have Gnus ask me "How
many articles do you want?" if the number of articles in that group is
larger than 42. Is there a way to tell Gnus to always assume I typed
42 at that prompt?
Now: gnus-large-newsgroup is 42. I hit Space, Gnus asks how many, I
type 42. Gnus gets 42 articles.
Wishlist: gnus-large-newsgroup is 42. I hit Space, Gnus gets 42
articles.
tia,
kai

`RET' does that, doesn't it?

Hm. The default response is "all articles in that group", isn't it?
I'd like Gnus to assume I responded with 42 at all times.

Uhm, yes, it is. Sorry. Then there's no clean way to do what you
request.
