OK - let's try splitting it up! (setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil "")) (add-to-list gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nntp "news.gmane.org")) (add-to-list gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnml "")) (setq mail-sources '((file :path "/var/mail/boudiccas"))) Almost everyone here has more lisp-cluefulness than I do! atb Glyn _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
