It turns off all automatic caching making it an entirely manual process. The result is that * saves the article essentially forever (by entering it into the cache) and M-* removes is from the cache (usually deleting in the process). The manual calls this "Persistent Articles" and it's described in the section after "Article Caching". I found this a bit confusing. I'd have called that setting 'manual' rather than 'passive'. When gnus-use-cache is t (or anything other than nil or passive) then the list of marks in gnus-cache-enter-articles (by default dormant and ticked) will cause articles to be cached, and The marks in gnus-cache-remove-articles (by default read) will cause them to be removed. I think the only risk with setting gnus-use-cache to t is that the command gnus-jog-cache will try to cache everything unread. However, I suspect the OP's best choice is setting gnus-use-cache to passive but then setting the display group parameter to something like [unread tick cache] (That's an array you set it to.) -- Ben. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
