What does it do, then? Nothing - despite the fact that leafnode might download several articles for the same newsgroup. OK - how's it all supposed to work? I start gnus 'unplugged', start my ppp link and then go 'J j' (gnus-plugged). 'J s' or 'J u' results in all too quick 'finished fetching new news' (or whatever). 'g' doesn't update the unread article numbers in the group buffer, but '3 g' does. *Then* 'J s' or 'J u' will download new articles and I can then go 'J j', select the requisite group and read new articles. Now here's another frustrating thing - when I then 'q' out of the summary buffer and then 'q' out of gnus altogether, the new articles mysteriously vanish when I start gnus up again. I've also managed to achieve the same undesirable result by merely 'q'ing from the summary buffer and then performing 'g' - ...poof, the unread article count goes down for said group, taking the new articles with it!!? I'm really not having much fun here as I decided to leap from the shores of 5.4.67 & leafnode and become fully 'agentized' with Quassia 0.17. I may require a little hand-holding here. What precisely should I be doing in a normal Quassia gnus session to obtain and retain new news articles? Is it (or can it be) 'gnus-unplugged' -> ppp link up -> 'J j' -> 'J s' or 'J u' and watch it all flood in, or do I have to do a 'g' or 'numeric-prefix g' first and then proceed? The initial population of my newsgroups with articles was fine its just getting the new stuff to go in there with them. TIA for some details here, or should I clamber back on the shores of 5.4.67 and await the full ocean-going Quassia ;-). -- Mike.
