Check the Server buffer > (^ from the Group buffer). Well, first the agent doesn't enable inverse video. It changes the header's foreground color to cyan (unless you changed that locally). So, it is possible that this entire discussion will not apply. The highlighting should only occur if you have both enabled the agent (now the default) AND agentized the servers. If you are truely using the latest version of gnus from CVS, you may have been effected by the latest bug fix. The agent had a bug whereby editing a method's configuration could result in it being unagentized. That's because the agent was failing to find an exact match when it compared the old and new methods. It gets to be a rather long story but the patch prevents, and corrects, this sort of problem. So, if the old gnus unagentized some of your servers then the new gnus could have reversed that error to make then agentized again. BTW, the nnimap developers turned the agent on to provide client-side caching. Rather than turning that off, you might want to consider turning off the undownloaded faces. You can do that by locally editing the faces (gnus-summary-*-undownloaded-face) to mimic the normal faces or setting the agent-disable-undownloaded-faces parameter (See the manual for all of the locations where agent parameters can be set). > To Agent developers: maybe I'm missing something, but if I explicitly > remove a server from the Agent (which I've done for my nnimap server > before and I also did yesterday) should that server be agentized again > when I start Gnus? That's what happened this morning. No, that shouldn't happen. The latest patch changing the agent occurred on 20 Nov 2003. Have you updated from CVS since then? Can you check the contents of agent/lib/servers? Does it appear to be list of methods or is it a list of server names? Kevin
