You'll loose all of your off-line content. The next harder is to open the agent directory. Delete the file named .overview then rename each article file to its new number. When you're done, go to the summary buffer, position point on the group in question then enter M-x gnus-agent-regenerate-group. This will preserve your off-line articles but you have to fetch the active headers. Kevin
