I connect to my imap server via gnus and click on the message in order to read it. Unfortunately that message contains quite a huge attachment (which I did not know). Now gnus needs quite a bit of time (using an old modem connection) in order to open the message. Once it is open it takes almost no time to download the attachment, since, as I presume it is already downloaded in some temp place. Couldn't that behavior be changed? What I have in mind is that gnus open the message, you can read the message body, but it starts only to download the attachment when one clicks on it. I wounder whether this behavior has something to do the way gnus is configured (or hacked) or the way the imap protocol works. Thanks and regards Uwe Brauer
