I don't know for sure, but I don't think it's doable without downloading all articles headers, sorting them by date, and then showing only the latest 100. Which is the same as downloading all article with C-u RET RET and sorting them by date. Gnus is the only MUA I know able to dowload only the latest N articles. All others download all the articles. So you may are expecting something from Gnus that is not doable at all, and that no other MUA does for a good reason. :) =2D-=20 Julien Danjou // =E1=90=B0 http://julien.danjou.info --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkyYiCMACgkQpGK1HsL+5c1rhACeNkrXQZgFWHkEpqeWA67IP87n 138AoJ3OiHXe0oHdiOV5q2ubfhwO5FMY =vQxN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
