Good thanks I clarified a bit.
I also found some nice variables to filter for author/date etc etc in a
buffer.
The thing I still not find is how to automatically fetch always not more
than 2000 (for example) headers.

I've set the large-newsgroup variable and it asks me how many I want,
but is that possible that I can't set one value now and forever?

Scoring works somehow (I see the + when someone replies to my mails) but
sorting by scoring looks quite casual...

Another smtp related question, if I don't set any server of course it
complains.

But now I'm in a network where without configuring anything
echo "msg" | mail -s "subject" address

works fine, and it automatically takes an smtp server (I guess from MX
records of the dns database).

Can I do it also with gnus (Otherwise I have to set one smtp server with
authentication)?
