I have at times despaired of gnus and switched to another mail-reader (whose name I won't mention) because of this problem. A large Mb size document will take minutes to download. If I am on dialup, it will take forever. I think that other mailreaders do not try and download the whole attachment until it is asked for. But thats just a guess. I'll be happy to profile something as well. Cheers, Jody
