No, just keep your mail groups at a lower level than your news groups. Each group has a level, from 1-9, indicating its "subscribedness." A low level is highly subscribed and a level of 9 is dead as a doornail. This definition might help too: gnus-group-get-new-news: an interactive compiled Lisp function in `gnus'. (gnus-group-get-new-news &optional ARG) Get newly arrived articles. If ARG is a number, it specifies which levels you are interested in re-scanning. If ARG is non-nil and not a number, this will force "hard" re-reading of the active files from all servers. As you can see, the thing to do is set all your mail groups to level 1, say, and then do C-u 1 g in the Group buffer. I've tied this to M-x m, in order to override the default mail agent, Rmail. Set levels with S l in the group buffer. The default level for subscribed mail and news is 3. -- Jack Vinson - - - jvinson@cheux.ecs.umass.edu Sunderland, MA "Jesus rides beside me.
