The advantage of multiple buffers is that the downloaded files can be viewed straight away, with no further copying.
I am not sure what you're really trying to do here. Is your goal to ultimately have each message in a separate buffer? Or is the goal to write them into files on disk? > That should work, if it is ok to do only 20 transfers in parallel. > It should block, not error, when all are in use. Why? I suspect we are miscommunicating, talking about different levels of code. However, I can't see why it could be useful for any level whatsoever to get an error just because someone asks it to download more than 20 messages. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
