(setq gnus-large-newsgroup 100) And then use function `gnus-group-read-group-no-prompt' read newsgroup, and then gnus will open 100 news directly and won't prompt you. (defun gnus-group-read-group-no-prompt () "Read news in this newsgroup and don't prompt. Use the value of `gnus-large-newsgroup'." (interactive) (gnus-group-read-group gnus-large-newsgroup)) Enjoy! -- Andy
