Now forgotten just about all I ever new... plus some of it has changes possibly. I need a quick and dirty way since this will be a seldom done thing to download specific authors from specific groups. Selecting that part en-masse is not a problem... I know how to do that. But had the notion I could put the download (toggle) mark on them (%) on them and they would get downloaded.... Can anyone explain in as few steps as necessary how I might do this? Imagine, I open a group.... select 10 (though it will be many more) and somehow force gnus to download them...
