In mutt, once the headers are downloaded, subsequent rescans of the archive are very fast (the archive has about 15,000 messages in it). But gnus seems to want to re-download all the headers again (with C-u space, for example), and this can take as long as 10 or 20 minutes. Can I get gnus to work like mutt in this regard, by looking at the local copies instead? Also, gnus does seem to have trouble with my imap server. It sometimes says there are no new emails, when in fact there are. But that's another issue. Thanks. Ross -- Ross A. Laird, PhD www.rosslaird.info
