I hate to sound ignorant, but is it possible that setting gnus-read-active-file to 'some' no longer works? If I set it that way under rgnus, the entire active file gets read whenever I startup or check new news. If I set it to nil, everything works the way it used to. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
