When I view their message in gnus it will take a long time to download the attachment. If, after having selected a message with a large attachment, I want to abort the viewing of the message pressing `C-g' only interrupts the download temporarily. Once I select a different message to view, or exit the group, the download is resumed. On a related note, pressing `R' or `r' in the Summary buffer to reply to a message with an attachment will also force the (oh so slow) download of the entire attachment, which seems a bit unecessary. (This happens if the article is not currently selected.) Is there a way to: a) Abort downloading of attachments once started? b) Don't download attachments when replying to messages? Niklas
