Maybe they are supposed to be that way, but that is not what happens. At least not for me with Gnus 5.6.45. I have the following code in my .gnus.el: (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-mail-groups 15 nil) (defun gnus-demon-scan-mail-groups () (save-window-excursion (when (gnus-alive-p) (save-excursion (set-buffer gnus-group-buffer) (gnus-group-get-new-news 2))))) It often happens that the scanning takes place just when I return to emacs and gnus after being away for some time or in the middle of browsing a group or composing a message. Quite annoying. -- Mats Löfdahl
