The constant dings is the result of running out of memory while trying to generate the "out of memory" alert. I used to get it when I evaled a form on way too many buffers. You might check the size of your group's .overview file. I managed to get one up to 108M by not running gnus-agent-expire for several months. That seems to be the most likely culpret. The group's article lists may also be growing but it's hard to believe that they'd be that large. Kevin
