In that case, is it possible to speed up Gnus' downloading of attachments to IMAP messages? If I get an attachment of several megabytes I typically need to cancel the message download (and go unplugged and quit Gnus because otherwise it will try to resume the download the next time I do anything) and download the message with another program because nnimap processes downloads so slowly. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
