You can set it to download nothing but headers if you don't want that. You can then mark articles manually for downloading. However, I've always been of the opinion that using computers should mean having to do less manual labor, not more. So enabling Gnus to empower users to set Gnus up to do things without any human intervention is very important to me. Gnus will basically work as Free Agent works -- only with a wider range of methods (using artificial stupidity) for deciding what articles to download automatically. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
