Any way to have gnus save a bunch of articles under "very low", unused article numbers (to move old saved articles into the cache) ? I was wondering what my cache will turn to, when I move (to another News server) ? - all screwed up ? (shiver) I just imagine the new news server to use article numbers minus 1000. Will all my cached articles be replaced, will I never see the 'conflicting' new ones, if I simply copy my cache hierarchy? Or will I be enchained to this bad-paid-for job forever? :-( Lars, you mentioned some thoughts of converting article numbers to message Id's, when moving. Cached articles will usually be expired, when I move. So even if the article has a message id in it, I can't ask the new server, what the articles article-number should be from now on. If the new server has lower article numbers than the previous, there's a possible problem. (i.e: some articles not fitting). possible solutions, that come to mind: Storing articles under message Id's in the cache. Or is this a bad idea NOW ? ;^) Just storing some "Extra Terrestrial" articles under their message ID's in the cache. Allocating new article numbers for the old cache articles, starting from 1 (dense - so there's probably enough space for all the articles, that I saved - hopefully NOT ALL articles. albrecht BTW: as of 0.51, entering virtual newsgroups is MUCH faster now. Thanks, Lars
