Here, however, is a slightly edited version of the first part that may be slightly more clear. `gnus-nov-is-evil' This one must _always_ be `nil' (which is the default). If, for example, you wish to not use NOV (see below) with the `nntp' back end (*note Crosspost Handling::), set `nntp-nov-is-evil' to a non-`nil' value instead of setting this. But you normally do not need to set `nntp-nov-is-evil' since Gnus by itself will detect whether the NNTP server supports NOV. Anyway, grabbing article headers from the NNTP server will not be very fast if you tell Gnus not to use NOV. Thanks for gnus, allan
