These methods look cool and I'll try them.

Another problem that I have on and off with nnrss is having it show me
old articles.  I have this problem both when I use an external script to
fetch the feeds and when I don't.  I've tried to figure it out and there
have been threads on this list about it but I've never found a perfect
solution.

Do others have this problem too?  I haven't updated my CVS Emacs or Gnus
in a few months so maybe the problem is gone now.
