I am probably the only one connecting to this server over GPRS, so I
doubt the admin will do that for me.

I will try that, thanks.

I use rtin to access noffle. The method of first selecting articles and
then downloading the selected ones with noffle --fetch would be very
good, if there was some way to see in the tin newsreader which articles
are fetched and present in noffle and which not. 

Otherwise your method doesn't have much sense for me, because after
selecting for example 30 articles from different goups which I thought
might be interesiting, and after noffle downloaded them in a --fetch
session, I have to go over all the groups and threads in tin to find
which articles where the ones downloaded (and probably selecting by
mistake a couple of other articles, not selected in my previous visit in
tin). 

Is there any way to make it visible in the thread listing in rtin which
article have bodies in noffle cache?

cheers,
