I haven't played with the agent in a while (too many problems), so forgive my memory. I think it should succeed properly when articles are '.' or 'N' marked (certainly for an 'N') but for simple ' ' marked ones, you may or may not have problems. (assigning them to a category may fix at least most of your problems. It's the already-read-ones that I have the most problem with. I have plenty of folders where I show all but expired, and "read" really means "keep around cause I need to refer to them". When I go offline, I typically need every article which is not-expired, and it's a known-deficiency of the agent that it won't download read articles). A friend of mine solves all this, by the way, but binding 'g' to both fetching new mail and running the agent download process. He says he has no problems like I have, as the agent will always get a copy before you read it. Personally, I don't got offline "that much" and hence don't want to always get stuff and would prefer to do it just pre-trip or something... --=20 "The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it." -- Terry Pratche= tt
