Hi all, As the title says, I'm starting Gnus from nothing. That means no News directory and no newsrc file. I'm using the most recent gnus on Debian Lenny.
Here's my configuration: (setq user-mail-address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]") (setq user-full-name "Desmond Rivet") (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.motzarella.org")) (setq gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method 'gnus-subscribe-zombies) (setq gnus-save-killed-list t) (setq gnus-check-new-newsgroups 'always) Here is what I *thought* would happen: - given that I have no newsrc file, Gnus would treat all the groups on the server as new. - given that I have the gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method variable set to gnus-subscribe-zombies, these new groups would be treated as zombies (I know this is supposed to be the default, but I wanted to leave to no doubt). - given that gnus-save-killed-list is set t, we should save the killed groups (and I assume zombies too? Tell me if that's wrong), in (I assume?) the newsrc.eld file. - given that gnus-check-new-newsgroups is set to always, the this process would happen whenever I start Gnus. So, I started Gnus and...nothing. Typing A z gives me nothing except a "No zombie groups" message. Typing A A does the trick - I can see all the groups on the server - but this is not what I was expecting. Can someone shed some light on this? Thanks in advance!
