I can't compare it myself. I run them on different systems. > I don't know how slrn does it, so I don't know exactly what effect > you're after. Are you using threading?

The manual says it will send if I check for new messages, but I'm thinking I must run gnus-delay-initialize. I won't turn it on for now. I'm getting there. Thanks!
