It actually wouldn't be that difficult to do -- one could just catch the `C-g' (when fetching headers) and then just point Gnus at the half-arrived headers. Gnus assumes that any articles it can't get headers for have expired, so one would have to do something about that, which means that I think it's too much work anyway. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
