Well, that was a good question, and you were right: on doing "C-u RET"
on my mail groups there were three that had no new messages in them
and were still on level 3. So I changed them to level 4.
However, the problem did not go away, doing a "C-u 3 g" command still
downloaded the messages from the POP server.
Perhaps I need to save the .newsrc file first, or even exit emacs
(which I'm loath to do right now) and then try again. I have all mail
groups set properly at level 4 now.
Very strange. Can anyone confirm that this actually works?
Many thanks,
Gernot
