I found (info "(Gnus) Persistent Articles") to sound like something really close to what I want to have. Marking articles with `*' stores them in ~/News/cache/group.name and selecting such an article from inside a group is significantly faster as doing so with a non-cached article. Thus gnus really uses these cached articles. Trying to open a group with cached articles inside while being offline fails with something like the following: "Opening nntp server on news.gmane.org...failed: >>> (error news.gmane.org/nntp Name or service not known)" Is there a way to enter this group despite not having an active connection to the server? I only want to see articles that have been cached (ergo reside locally on disk) anyway. Any pointers are greatly appreciated. Regards, -- Alexander Baier
