I was wondering if Lars, or anyone in the know could tell me when expiry under the `agent' is likely to be sorted out - only I've just done another `gnus-agent-expire' which would appear to have messed with my .overviews - another expire sorted it out. Whilst I'm here, I note that in the `Newest Features' node of the gnus manual for quassia, there is the intention to `push active file and NOV file parsing down into C code'. This would really speed things up no? I've just started with C and was curious as to how this might be easily accomplished - would the active file and/or NOV files be passed to a C program in a buffer via the elisp `call-process' function and the parsed output returned in another (or perhaps the same) buffer? If I can work out what kind of parsing takes place here, I'd like to give it a go - some kind of high level spec would help (my elisp is novice too). I appreciate the above may be already in hand, but 'Newest Features' does seem a rather long list and I was just interested in something tangible I could cut my teeth on (or smash my face, perhaps). -- Regards, Mike.
