There are a few solutions: - Set up an NNTP server as `gnus-select-method' (I use news.gmane.org here, because I actually find the Gmane service incredibly useful anyway). - Set up some other kind of group as 'gnus-select-method'; this could even be your mail/nnml setup, perhaps on the lines of http://eschulte.me/emacs24-starter-kit/starter-kit-gnus.html which demonstrates this, albeit with IMAP and not local maildir mail. - Start up gnus with the tricky command M-x gnus-no-server instead of M-x gnus. `gnus-no-server' simply skips the step of checking for a primary select method/news server. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
