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!
