In groups in some news servers, there might be a big gap between a few
very old articles that will never be expired and the recent ones. In
such a case, the server will return the data like @code{(1 . 30000000)}
know it at first and prepares for getting 30000000 articles. However,
it will consume hundreds megabytes of memories and might make Emacs get
stuck as the case may be. If you use such news servers, set the
-variable @code{gnus-maximum-newsgroup} to a positive number. The value
-means that Gnus ignores articles other than this number of the latest
-ones in every group. For instance, the value 10000 makes Gnus get only
-the articles 29990001-30000000 (if the latest article number is 30000000
-in a group). Note that setting this variable to a number might prevent
-you from reading very old articles. The default value of the variable
-@code{gnus-maximum-newsgroup} is @code{nil}, which means Gnus never
-ignores old articles.
