Re: How to prevent gnus from always downloading full index

[B.V. Raghav]

Hi,

>>> Ah! This looks suspicious:
>>> 
>>>   gnus-fetch-old-headers t

I run:
GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 
2015-10-25 on trouble, modified by Debian

and the C-h v gnus-fetch-old-headers value is nil

I have a little different issue. When I subscribe to a group like
debian.user -- The history is pretty large, 150MB or so. I had marked it
read by using `c' key to catch-up the group.

However, now when entering the summary buffer, to check unread mails, I
find that Gnus downloads 150M, almost every time to retrieve the
history.

I am paranoid, and sort of never check unread news there!

Thanks,
r
