Even if you invoke Gnus with a startup level that is lower than the level of the newsgroups that it's hanging on? I do this all the time when my news server is unreachable, and it's a two-keystroke solution to the problem... [I'm assuming you know what group levels are and how to use them, since you aren't questioning that part.] > And as said groups live somewhere in .newsrc.eld madness I couldn't get > them out of the way either. That's easy functionality with groups also; you just start Gnus at level zero, so that *no* groups are checked at startup, and then you manipulate the groups from the "*Group*" buffer. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
