Downloading articles isn't so much about disk space as network capacity. But I agree with you that the Agent should probably download the articles by default.

Maybe that would be good, yes. A better docstring would also be welcome: I don't understand the current one. Stefan ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Let's see... caching... so if you're online (in an agentised group) and select an article, you want the article to be saved in the Agent directory? That sounds eminently reasonable, and I thought that was supposed to happen, but I can't find any code for doing that... hm... Nope. Articles are entered into the (non-agent) cache if `gnus-use-cache' is set to t, though. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
