In online mode, it doesn't seem to cache anything for any reason, so just reading a message you read seconds ago requires downloading it again. It also means that messages need to be downloaded again for offline reading. However, the real killer, was that I could not get offline reading to work with IMAP, only NNTP. Perhaps I was doing something wrong, not sure here. At the time I took the easy way out and concluded that IMAP wasn't supported <grin>. Despite these problems, Gnus is the only program I have seen that will highlight replies to my mail, something I find very valuable in large mailing lists like this one. Another alternative that looked good last time I tried was Mozilla, as it seems to have very good off-line mail support. However, it was buggy and often refused to enter mail groups for no good reason, so I gave up on that. Eventually I will have to try it again. -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
