Considerably less dangerous, but not necessarily what Jan wants, is to leverage this feature from the agent. Jan could copy the articles from the cached directory of the original group to the agent directory of the destination group. The article files will then need to be renamed to "old" (i.e. already seen) numbers. At this point, the M-x gnus-agent-regenerate-group command (run in the group buffer) could be used to rebuilt the .overview/.agentview files. Answer 'some' to the command's prompt and the migrated articles will appear in the group's summary view. Kevin
