This is somehow similar than what `debbugs-gnu-bugs' does: -N: show the newest abs(N) bugs. N: show the bug #N. N-M: show the bugs N, N+1, ..., M-1, M. Would be possible to accept ranges in `gnus-group-read-group' as well? I ask this because i am trying to read one article from 2008, more or less in the middle, so that neither N nor -N help to catch my target article: in both cases abs(N) need to be a large integer. Is there a better way to download a particular article than just using `gnus-group-read-group'? I am still a newbie in gnus. Tino Thank you.
