The new variable gnus-large-newsgroup is quite useful, but there is a problem. I use (setq gnus-auto-select-next 'quietly), so when I type "n" to the last message in a group, it goes on immediately to the next group. If the new group has a large number of messages, it will then type the question "How many articles", but the name of the newsgroup is nowhere on the screen. This makes it hard to decide whether to accept the default or choose a smaller number. Joe Weening Computer Science Dept. weening@Gang-of-Four.Stanford.EDU Stanford University
