Hi, I am slowly trying to familiarize myself again with gnus and its agent mode (after years of using Forte Agent, via Wine).
What I don't get, is: How can I tell gnus to only download all the marked (with %) articles (or threads) in all the groups? So far the situation is like this: If I enter a group in plugged mode and select some of the articles and/or threads and then do a J-u gnus only downloads the article bodies of the marked articles/threads. Okay, fine... If I have marked articles not only in _one_ group, but in all of my subscribed groups, the situation is different: If I am in the newsgroups summary buffer and do a J-s gnus does not only download all the marked articles, but instead it downloads all the article bodies in all the groups! Something that I highly dislike when I am on dial-up (when my DSL is down, for instance). So I tried to avoid J-s and use J-u instead, by putting process marks to all the group names and then doing M-& in order to use a command on all of these groups: the command is J-u. Again: All the article bodies in all groups are being downloaded!? Looks like using J-s or J-u from the _summary buffer_ (instead of from within the group with its header listings) doesn't respect my marked articles, but blindly downloads everything. Only when I am within a group and _see_ the download marks (%), a J-u respects my selection and only downloads what I have marked! But since I would have to do this for each and every group, this could be a lengthy and rather uncomfortable process. Is there no easier way? Or am I missing something? My agent default category has a predicate of "short", but I also tried "false", with the same results.
