gnus fetches only headers

gnus fetches only headers

[kguy]

I have the following line in my category file
((Latex high nil ("comp.text.pdf" "comp.text.tex")) 
(Programming high nil ( "comp.lang.c"  "gnu.gcc" "gnu.gcc.help"
"gnu.cvs.help")) 
(Linux high nil ("comp.os.linux.misc" "comp.os.linux.networking"
"comp.os.linux.portable" "comp.os.linux.setup" "comp.os.linux.x"
"uk.comp.os.linux")) 
(Emacs high nil ("gnu.emacs.gnus" "gnu.emacs.help" "gnu.emacs.bug"
"comp.emacs" "comp.emacs.xemacs" "gnu.chess" "gnu.emacs.gnews"
"gnu.emacs.lisp")) 
(default false nil nil))
When entering J-s gnus only retieves the headers of the messages
contained in the group. When I try to read the content of the message
I get the message 
"message marqed for download"
How to I get gnus fetching all the messages contained in group in a
category?
I would like to download really all messages since disk space is not a
concern.
thanks for any hint
Guy

Mr. Molen has already responded to your query, so lety me - as a
relative newbie - ask the rather basic question of what a category
file is!

I am using 'Topics' in gnus 5.7 under Emacs 20.7.2 to categorize
groups, which looks like what your (quoted below) category file is
doing. However, I do not see a 'category file' anywhere in my news
directory. Each newsgroup has a SCORE and an ADAPT file, and in my
root directory I have a .emacs.el and a .gnus.el file.

My question: is the 'category file' a part of the .gnus (or .gnus.el)
file, or is it a separate file which gnus looks at when it loads?

Regards,
       Gernot

[those who know me have no need of my name]

[fu-t reset -- this is a gnus issue not a general emacs one]

in gnu.emacs.gnus i read:

it's part of gnus' agent, kept in the agent's lib directory, below
`gnus-agent-directory'.

Actually my reponse was to an e-mail the Klaus Berndl posted regarding
a mouse wheel scroll function for gnus and then removed.  I'm don't
know why my response is listed here under the wrong subject.
