I have been using 'swish-e' as a "search engine" for a couple of years
to provide faster access directly from withing Gnus (via "G G") to
previous letters in my groups.
Since I, of late, have been redoing some of my long standing Gnus
configuration options, I thought I'd re-evaluate this as well.

Out of ignorance, I have had `gnus-use-cache' set to `t' for a *long* time.
Rereading the documentation (info), indicates that a value of
`passive' would probably be better. That value will only cache
articles that are "explicitly entered".
Some questions:
If I change it to `passive', will t

OK, I'm now successfully running Emacs22 and Gnus (gnus-5.10.10.tar.gz).

I decided to upgrade my office machine to the newest Ubuntu (8.04/Hardy).
Unfortunately, 'gnus' failed to work from the very start (problems
with 'gnus-load', ...).
Does anyone have Gnus running with Emacs22 on Ubuntu?
I removed Emacs22 and installed Emacs21 and Gnus is usable (it is what

Suddenly, this group stopped receiving new articles:
nntp+news.freshmeat.net:fm.announce
Are others still getting Freshmeat's news feed from within 'gnus'?
Thanks for any ideas,

I have been using 'gnus' for many, many years (yes!).
But today, I entered one of my groups and saw -- for the first time --
this very interesting, symmetric "thread pattern":

Is this the correct syntax to set 'gnus-auto-select-first' to a function?
(setq gnus-auto-select-first 'gnus-summary-first-unread-subject)
For some reason, "point" is still always placed at the *first* subject
line in newly entered groups.

I recently upgraded my office machine from Ubuntu Breezy to Dapper.
Though I can still read my mail and post, some things don't look right
and have even "broken".
Using the `V' command in the "*Group*" buffer displays:

Is that right?

I think that *this* is the explanation.
Reading more in 'info' I see:
To turn caching on, set `gnus-use-cache' to `t'.

What are they?
How to get rid of them?

I swear someone else posted about this, but I can't find the original article.

I've just read through the 'info' pages, but can't seem to find what I need.
How do you "super automatically" mark a letter as "expired" even
*before* it is read? I'm getting these daily letters forwarded that can't
be stopped at the source (even though I *never* read them).

That was it!
I had "started from scratch" with 'gnus' on my home system (where the
duplicates were showing up), but forgot to set 'nnmail-crosspost' to
'nil' in ".gnus.el" (as *is* done on my office machine).
Thanks!
