That's what Soup is for. On your home computer, you set up Gnus to use nnsoup as main backend. On your university computer, you "brew a soup" (add the unread articles of a group to a special SOUP directory). You then "pack the soup into a packet" (tar the SOUP directory). You transfer the packet back home. On your home computer, Gnus will read stuff automagically from the soup packets, because of the nnsoup backend. You can also set up Gnus at home so that replies sent by news and/or mail are put into a so-called "reply packet", which you can then pack and transfer back to university, where you fire up Gnus and send the reply packets. When you brew a soup, the articles added to the soup will be marked with a special mark. If you set that to read and if you set your expire time right, all the articles added to a soup will automatically be deleted from your university system right away. kai -- Life is hard and then you die.
