Subject: Huge .overview file -> how to reduce it?
Date: Mon, 06 Feb 2006 22:26:51 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <uzml436ms.fsf@gko.net> (raw)

Hi!

I have been reading some traffic-intensive groups for one year, but
lately, when trying to read the group, I have "Memory exhausted"
messages when generating the *Summary* buffer...

It turns out that the .overview file of that group has grown to 130 Mb
with the "head" containing data from one year before, whereas the
oldest data on my server for this group is from early December...

How can I reduce its size (automatically or something)? 

My setup is "No Gnus v0.3" with a NNTP server (Hamster), all on the
same Windows 2000 machine.

Thanks!

Georges
