Right, I just looked through the code and it won't enter either * or ! articles into the cache when `gnus-use-cache' is 'passive. I guess you could set `gnus-use-cache' to t and see what happens. There are plenty of other knobs to twiddle to reduce the scope of articles that are cached.

By default, all articles ticked or marked as dormant will then be copied over to your local cache (‘gnus-cache-directory’). (That probably shouldn've been mentioned in the docstring for gnus-use-cache, which is rather misleading: "use the cache to the full extent of the law" sounds like "cache everything"). signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

Hm, I've just tested this, and with gnus-use-cache set to 'passive, Gnus does *not* cache articles that I tick with '!'. It may well be, as always, that I have something in my .gnus.el that prevents this :-) But it is also in line with the docs (http://gnus.org/manual/gnus_42.html): , | To turn caching on, set gnus-use-cache to t. By | default, all articles ticked or marked as dormant | will then be copied over to your local cache | (gnus-cache-directory). ` So only 'articles ticked or marked as dormant' are copied to the cache, not all articles. -- Enrico Schumann Lucerne, Switzerland http://enricoschumann.net ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
