Then, Gnus will look for the date of each article number between 23 and 4711 whether or not it is older than the expiration time. Is this a backend issue (using my own homegrown backend) or is there a general optimization that can be used? kai -- I wonder why nobody don't like me, or is it de fact dat I'm ugly? -- Harry Belafonte
