Is there any way to set up mail retrieval so that I Gnus only downloads
those messages which match a specific criteria? I would like to read some
e-mail from home, but downloading all of the Ding mail is a little slow.
Ideally, there would be some filter that just tells Gnus to leave Ding (and
other) mail on the server until some later date.
Thanks,
Jack

I don't see how. Well, unless you're using IMAP, in which case it's
easy enough, since you don't download any mail. :-)

I have, of course, discovered the best way to do this: multiple e-mail
accounts and mail-sources. Unfortunately, not everyone can have several
accounts. I now have my busy mail lists going to one account, while all
other mail goes to another. If I read from home, I just read the mail from
the second account. Perfect.
