My gnus-agent-synchronize-flags value has its default value of nil. Should I suppose that I need to set this to true. When the agent changes were first made, I think this was the case, and I found my emacs would freeze up for a considerable amount of time as these 'flags' where synchronized. I can not find any discussion or documentation outsize of how it applies to IMAP groups, where the server does have 'flag' information. However, for those of us with just news groups and non IMAP mail, there seems to be no information about what is to be accomplished by the involved synchronization process that now seems to exist, or how to avoid it. -- Barry Fishman
