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

Well, at this point in time, the easiest solution is to simply
delete the .overview file. You'll loose all of your article
headers but the vast majority point to expired articles anyway.
The headers for current articles will simply be downloaded again
the next time you visit the group.
You may want to check the manual to setup agent expiration (not
related to imap expiration) then run gnus-agent-expire
periodically.
