LG> - Lowell Sorry if I was unclear about this - I couldn't get gnus to load any groups *at all*. And as said groups live somewhere in .newsrc.eld madness I couldn't get them out of the way either. IMO gnus needs to a) fail gracefully when a server is unavailable instead of blocking until you kill it b) handle said groups more transparently to allow managing them and increase portability -- Philipp Haselwarter _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
