Hello, I am using spamoracle to filter my spam (mainly because this is a local product from inria), and have been very annoyed by the fact that, when quitting a mail group, I see the message Registering 0 articles with classification spam, check spam-use-spamoracle The problem is that spamoracle suffers from slow startup even when no messages are passed to it and the maessage slows down gnus operation. And anyway it seems kind of pointless. I finally came up with the following trivial patch, which only encloses the relevant code into a "(when articles ...)" block. I have been using it for a year without problem. I do not know whether it can cause problems to other spam filter, but it looks to me like a reasonable thing to do anyway. I am not sure whether this group is the right place to submit such a patch. Please tell me where to send it and whether a different form (changelog?) is needed. Regards, JMarc
