Well, the purpose of the code is to update all the groups that should be updated. :-) All non-native, non-secondary groups get checked individually. But when Gnus mistakenly takes some groups as foreign instead of secondary, you get all these gazillion "Reading new mail..." messages. So the question is -- why doesn't Gnus realize that these groups are secondary? I think. Could somebody who sees this edebug through this function and see which `(gnus-activate-group group 'scan)' is doing the dirty deed? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
