The agent down loads headers from all groups who's servers are included in the "agent" umbrella. Then parses those headers against the agent categories, and downloads bodies accordingly. No groups whos servers are under agent are left out. Is there a way already incorporated in Gnus to make the Agent skip certain groups. Something along the line of: `gnus-activate-foreign-newsgroups' If `gnus-activate-foreign-newsgroups' is a positive number, Gnus will check all foreign groups with this level or lower at startup. Only applied to agent groups `gnus-activate-agent-newsgroups', or the like. Where one could control which groups have the headers downloaded by raising the level of certain groups. -- Harry Putnam Running Redhat Linux 5.1
