This is a gnusbie question, but the answer was not obvious to me in my info file. When I select a group that I've previously visited in Gnus v5.9.0, Emacs 21.2.1 for WinNT queries how many messages to upload. It uploads what seems to be the entire newsgroup regardless of my answer. I want to be able to start reading shortly after selecting the group. So I guess my questions are: 1. How do I keep the prior messages? 2. How do I read selected group(s) in the background so that they are ready to read? My .emacs stuff is below. TIA for any comments R.
