Subject: "No unread news": nntp with gnus-agent
Date: Thu, 16 Sep 2010 09:10:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87iq262jn4.fsf@stats.ox.ac.uk> (raw)

I thought I'd investigate gnus-agent, now that I'm watching the download
limit on my mobile broadband account. However, I didn't get far.

In the server buffer I did "J a" on my eternal-september and gmane
servers. Then I went to the group buffer and did "g". It took a fairly
long time (downloading headers I assume). The counts in the group buffer
changed from a small number (count of new messages) to a large
number. However, now when I do RET or even C-u 10 RET on a
gmane/eternal-september group, it refuses to show me any articles,
saying "No unread news".

Perhaps I haven't understood how to use gnus-agent. What I'm aiming for
is the ability to read and re-read messages on a particular gmane group
without incurring fresh downloads every time I view a previously-read
message. Can someone point me in the right direction?
