If the news server admin now decides to renumber all the articles to numbers starting at 1, you won't be able to read the first 50,000 articles. Have a look at the article number (in the mode line in the summary buffer I think) to verify that this is the case. If so, the gnus-group-clear-data and gnus-group-clear-data-on-native-groups commands might help. kai -- A large number of young women don't trust men with beards. (BFBS Radio)
