Gnus to read offline news message?

Gnus to read offline news message?

[PeterWu]

I run both gnus and slrn. The latter offers slrnpull program that pulls the messages offline from the news server.

Is there such a feature in Gnus? If no, will such feature be added in the near future? Thanks.

there's no feature like that in gnus.  you can use gnus to read your local
(slrnpull managed) spool, same as you do with slrn.
