Oh, I knew that, but I figured that GNUs had a single cache of articles. Maybe when you say "nothing to do with", you really mean NOTHING to do with ;-) > The minimum that you should need to do is as follows: > 1) In the group buffer, enter '^' to open the server buffer. > 2) Move point to the server that you want to agentize. > 3) Enter 'J a' to agentize the server. > 4) Enter 'q' to return to the group buffer. > 5) Open the group. > 6) Select articles for downloading using '@'.

Wow, combined with Niklas' formula this actually seems to be doing something useful! I had read up on Agent a while back when I had stock gnus that ships with emacs, and either these are new features or I missed it or failed to understand. Time to study up again ;-) Thanks for your attention, everyone. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
