A single C-g doesn't do anything, but if you insist, eventually, you return to a broken *Groups* buffer (nothing works basically). In the end I always have to kill emacs and restart. Since I'm on a flaky WiFi network, connection timeouts and hangs happen very often, not just because of server issues. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
