Thanks, Adam.
I wasn't aware of "nntp-address", although I've been using
"nnimap-address" in a similar context.
My goal is to retain the name "gmane" for historical consistency,
regardless of the actual address used. Your suggestion aligns with
that. I've since updated my configuration to:
(nntp "gmane"
(nntp-address "news.gmane.io"))
Additionally, I've made updates to the ~/.newsrc.eld file, replacing
"news.gwene.org" with "gmane". Everything seems to be running smoothly
so far, and I've made sure to keep a backup, just in case.
