That's not really possible using the current methodology. If you use a nil `gnus-read-active-file', Gnus will bypass all active file requests and jump straight to the function for computing unread articles in the groups. For each of these groups, it'll do a `*-request-group' to find out what the active range of articles is. Using `*-retrieve-groups' requires an extra pass over the newsrc alist. > Then nntp should have a way of avoiding the active file query if > that option is needed.

Yes. So the solution is to kill off all the groups you aren't interested in and using `some'. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
