gnus hanging on 1mb+ mails

gnus hanging on 1mb+ mails

[Steven Arntson]

Gnus has been hanging for me on mails that are 1MB+ (the download gets
to ~940kb and freezes until I cancel it with `C-g'), and I'm wondering
if anyone has any tips on how they would troubleshoot such a problem.
I'm a newish user, and not sure where to start.

emacs 24.4.1
gnus 5.13

Thank you!

If you do M-x toggle-debug-on-quit before fetching a big email, then you
should get a backtrace when you hit C-g, I think.

I gave this a try. I'm trying to understand the output, but it's pretty
complex for me. A lot of it seems to be regarding the RSS feeds I
subscribe to, and those aren't the problem---it's getting these big
mails. Anyway, here's the output. Do you see anything here that's
related to the problem I'm having? Thank you! -Steven

About the RSS feeds, try putting then in a lower level (I keep then in
level 4 - S-L-4), this will not only save you from this messages, but
speed up (A LOT) updated in the important groups (mail)
