Actually, it's even worse, now that I've taken a closer look. You only get a thread view, so you have to fetch not only the thread view, but also every single thread to find the Message-ID's of the new messages. So `M-g' on such a group would take quite a while. Is there some other interface I'm not finding? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
