That would be a possibility, but there would have to be a limit to how far back one should go -- the thread root might not be on the server (or in the group) at all. Chunking would make most sense for groups from servers like nntp and nnimap -- chunking for nnml, for instance, would probably not help much. So would this best be placed as a new interface function? `nnchoke-retrieve-headers-until-message-id'? If that function isn't implemented in the back end, it could fall back on using `nnchoke-retrieve-headers'. Sounds ok? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
