Well, it certainly shouldn't delete them, although you want it to stick them into some other archive kind of group. You probably cached them because they had useful information. But you obviously can't leave them in the cache tree, since they conflict with other messages. You could probably roll your old articles into an archive, set the new real newsgroup to a highish level, and drop a virtual group on top of them to combine them. Although this isn't a great solution. > I suppose you could re-order them to something like -3 -> -1 or > something similar, but I don't know how gnus would handle that (this > is a new idea Lars). I kindof like that idea. Of course a couple places in the code, it explicitly checks for negative numbers in ranges and removes them. When I have to change news servers, which may happen some day, I'd like to keep my cache as enties in the same ''group'' without it overriding other potential articles, and also not being a seperate entity. -- David Moore | Computer Systems Lab __o UCSD Dept.
