People used to complain that the download mark overrode the other marks so it was separated out. I suppose that a gnus-summary-limit-to-undownloaded could be written, there's just not been any demand for it. This isn't meant to be a solution, just an explanation. > I find that I often have a few undownloaded messages mixed in with > many downloaded ones. Due to my reading habits no doubt.

I may have a solution for this one. Add gnus-agent-fetch-selected-article to the gnus-select-article-hook. This will result in undownloaded messages being downloaded to the agent as you read them. > Anyway, how can I sort a few dozen undownloaded into a display from a > summary of buffer of several thousand? How about an alternative solution? Use 'M-^ 1 0 0 0 0 J #' to mark all articles for fetching then use 'J S' to fetch them. The nice part is that the agent will only fetch those articles that have not already been fetched. Kevin
