Won't Supersedes be superseded on the news server? In essence, a majority of the nntp code in agent will be in duplicating what is on the server. Or do you mean superseding in the local spool area?

When an article is "posted" it gets put into the local spool where it should go, and the message ID, group, and article number are stored in the .../out.going/ database. When a spool out connection to a particular server goes live, nnagent can run through that server's outgoing database on a line-by-line basis and upload the corresponding articles. Just like a real news server (and Agent, for that matter). As for the equivalent of a history database, it has already been partially implemented in nnml in the .nnmail-cache mechanism. Wow... Gnus, the news reader that is also a news server. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3a Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBMuYxLZ6VRH7BJMxHAQFpbwQAm+ELAkgUkk537czdK6nLHOUlPCYKIXU0 4dZTtVGyobn0HldocwrxYr2AXyz0VpPh31SPvQ28KiEe3Vae9H2XBwe3ZK/PFBst /GbdoDTnMFfTWGTnc/eIkmuTq3WqrL9uqJJsSBAxje5P7YA1wn8Cld+e3JHOiBoj Wh8TTCVE2fE= =aOfy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Rich Pieri | If Happy Fun Ball begins to smoke, Prescient Technologies, Inc. | get away immediately.
