The C-u does not work for me, but just entering a number and then giving enter instead of immediately does work. A bit strange, because it does not work always. For example: sometimes it works when I enter 3500, but sometimes it does not. Until 3400 it almost always works. And that is in almost all cases a lot more as I need.

I used ‘c’ (gnus-summary-catchup-and-exit) to mark them again as read. When entering the group again disaster has struck: there where only 4.000 messages (about 13%) left.

Changes in emacs.el
I made an earlier comment about this, but I did some investigation now. Sometimes I get a message that .emacs is read-only.

So news.aioe.org redirects to nntp.aioe.org, but that's sometimes

Sort of. And after some time nntp is broken and I have to go back to
news again.
Properly I know what the problem is. More about it below.
This works with one very important hitch: I lose all my marks.
You should have separated the server name from its address:
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp aioe.org
(nntp-address news.aioe.org)))
Then the server name was aioe.org (and that's important for marks and
stuff), and you could always change the nntp-address. It'll still be
the same server, and all marks would still work.
But thinking about it, you should be able to use
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp news.aioe.org
(nntp-address nntp.aioe.org)))
Then your server's still called news.aioe.org, but the address is the
(hopefully) reliable nntp.aioe.org.
I experimented with this and now both do not work. (news and nntp) For
the time being I am using another (free) news-server. Now all the
messages where unread again, because this was the first time I used
it. :-{
The problem is (I think) that aioe does not allow more as 400
connections a day. Could it be that when I am busy I exceed this limit
and are banned for some time? I was trying the different possibilities
and this made me exceed the limit for nntp and now I am banned from
both I am afraid.
I December I properly change from internet server provider. Maybe I
should take a subscription on there news-server also.

Switching smtpmail-debug-info
Sometimes I want to see the info about the communication with the SMTP-server. But I find it not very handy to remember the variable to set or reset. That is why I made the folowing function: (defun dcbl-switch-smtp-debug-info () (interactive) (if smtpmail-debug-info (progn (setq smtpmail-debug-info nil) (message disabled smtp-debug-info)) (setq smtpmail-debug-info t) (message enabled smtp-debug-info))) -- Cecil Westerhof Senior Software Engineer LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/cecilwesterhof ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

Re: Automatically filling to-address (tip and question)
I did find a much better way to fill the To address. The sequence of the fields is also not changed. It is possible to later still fill the To field with the correct value, after having emptied it. (For example when the reply the field is filled with the address of the sender instead of with the address of the mailing list.) Is there a function to empty the To field? The only problem is that I know how to check for message-mode, but I do not know how to differentiate between an article and an e-mail message. With an article for a newsgroup there is no To field. Properly not a very important problem. What is the chance that the name of a e-mail folder will look like the name of a newsgroup? Still, if someone knows how to differentiate ...

How to get value of parameter in macro
I am trying my first stab at macro's. I want to define key bindings to a jump to a group.

Questions about expiring
Because the hint from Nicolas KOWALSKI it is not as important anymore, but I like to understand things. First when leaving a group gnus-summary-expire-articles was always called. I had two big groups (on a local IMAPS server): one with 1162 articles off which 71 where expired and one with 8228 articles of which 54 where expired. The first group took a lot longer as the first. When things had to be deleted from the IMAPS server, I could understand it. But when leaving a group 2 minutes later (and when there where no articles to be deleted) I do not understand this. So why is this the case? By the way: to get the number of articles that are expired in a group: - enter it with C-u Space - M-x how-many - ^E With apropos I get: gnus-agent-expire-days is a variable defined in `gnus-agent.el'. Its value is 7 Documentation: Read articles older than this will be expired.
