I thought that I saw something today. I'll work up a fix if I can reproduce it. That's not to say that you shouldn't try using it (many people, including myself, are using it successfully), just that there are other options that you can pursue. If you're looking to mark-then-fetch in a single summary buffer, you can also use process marks. Use # to mark, M-# to unmark (plus many other commands) then J-s to fetch. The only significant difference is that downloadable marks(%) are persistent so you can set them on many groups then use J-s in the group buffer to fetch in all of those groups. > Should i hit J-u in the Summary buffer or in the Group buffer? The > manual is difficult to understand on that point. J-u is used in the summary buffer to fetch articles marked downloadable (%). Kevin
