You can specify a policy for keeping old messages for each server account. Go to your "Account Settings" for GMane and look in "Offline & Disk Space". You can choose to keep all messages, the newest N messages, or messages from the past N days. -- Robert Kern [EMAIL PROTECTED] "In the fields of hell where the grass grows high Are the graves of dreams allowed to die." -- Richard Harter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
