I appreciate your suggestions sincerely. But I am not really satisfied by the proposed approach, as I think that does not grant the users as much freedom as I would expect. I might sound too demanding and never-satisfied. I guess I am spoiled by the freedom I feel in the world of Emacs. So I am wondering if the following two alternate ideas are practical. I would be glad to know what you think of them, whether they are practical or not. - Is it possible to set up an nntp server on my own virtual personal server, and let Gnus talk to that nntp server? I presume this is possible, but I have no experiences in this field. - Is it possible to download the mailing list directly, as an mbox file or any other format that the mailing list provides, and use an ephemeral group to view the mailing list? This is just an imagination, and I don't really know what I am talking about. :P Best regards, -- Durand
