In +such a case, the server will return the data like @code{(1 . 30000000)} +for the @code{LIST ACTIVE group} command, for example. Even if there +are actually only the articles 1-10 and 29999900-30000000, Gnus doesn't +know it at first and prepares for getting 30000000 articles. However, +it will consume hundreds megabytes of memories and might make Emacs get +stuck as the case may be. If you use such news servers, set the +variable @code{gnus-maximum-newsgroup} to a positive number. The value +means that Gnus ignores articles other than this number of the latest +ones in every group. For instance, the value 10000 makes Gnus get only +the articles 29990001-30000000 (if the latest article number is 30000000 +in a group). Note that setting this variable to a number might prevent +you from reading very old articles. The default value of the variable +@code{gnus-maximum-newsgroup} is @code{nil}, which means Gnus never +ignores old articles. + @vindex gnus-select-group-hook @vindex gnus-auto-select-first @vindex gnus-auto-select-subject |
