Here is the minimal setup that I do to duplicate the problem: 1) I have installed emacs 21.2 from the Red Hat 8.0 RPM files. 2) Then I have renamed the /usr/share/emacs/21.2/lisp/gnus to gnus-21.2. 3) I have retrieved oort from CVS, did ./configure and specified the lisp path as /usr/share/emacs/21.2/lisp/gnus and the etc path as /usr/share/emacs/21.2/etc. Then I did make and make install. 4) Then deleted the News/ and Mail/ directories and all .newsrc* files. 5) I ran emacs and then M-x gnus-no-server. 6) I subscribed to gnu.emacs.gnus. 7) I restarted gnus and did a catch up on the gnu.emacs.gnus group (0 new articles). Then in the server window, I activated agent support using J a. 8) Then I restarted gnus and hit "g" in the group buffer. As expected, no new messages. I then entered the group and retrieved 500 articles. I left the group and hit "g" again. This time, gnus told me there are 197 new messages! 9) I restarted gnus again, hit "g" in the group buffer. No new messages. I then entered gnu.emacs.gnus and retrieved 500 messages. Because the messages are cached in the agent, this completed insstantly. I left the group and hit "g" again. This time, gnus told me there are 205 new messages! 10) I repeat the above again and now gnus tell me there are 207 new messages ! Can anybody tell me what is happening? I am using the giganews news service over a dialup line. My general impression is that gnus is not aware of the most recently added messages. If I am away for several days and enter gnus and hit g in the group buffer, gnus shows new messages, but the count is far less than the actual number of new messages. Just to see whether there is a problem with the news server, I have installed "pan" (pimp ass newsreader) and the server seems to be fine. Here is my .gnus (setq user-mail-address "timuraydin@ttnet.net.tr") (setq user-full-name "Timur Aydin") (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news-east.giganews.com")) I can also provide the relevant files in News/ or .newsrc.eld, if necessary... -- Timur Aydin
