Re: More Gnus problems
ME? [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Here is my .gnus file: (BTW, should I put this stuff in .gnus, or .emacs, or does it matter?): Don't know. All my stuff's in my .emacs monstrosity. A couple of things. The folder that you want mail to go in to in your home directory may (or may not) need to already exist, so you might try deleting it if it does exist, or adding it if it doesn't, and see what happens. Also, I've had a couple of cases where by starting up with a slightly bogus config file, I caused gnus to write a .newsrc.eld or .newsrc file that caused all future launches to fail, even though I fixed the problem. You should probably try a rm .newsrc* and then run emacs and gnus and see if that helps. I believe this is partially related to the fact that gnus actually writes the server configuration paths, etc into the rc file the first time it opens the server, and it never changes them again. This can be a problem if you change them in your .emacs file. The only way currently to propagate that change AFAIK is to manually edit the .newsrc* files, or delete the files and let gnus rebuild them. WARNING: deleting the .newsrc* files will lose all your state information about articles you have read or marked as important, etc. -- Rob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

More Gnus problems
Thanks to the people who sent me mail regarding Gnus... but I guess I'm such a dunce that it'll take more than that to get me reading my mail with Gnus... I read deeper into the info pages, followed the cookie cutter recipe, and still have no luck, so I made nnml the main select method... Here is my .gnus file: (BTW, should I put this stuff in .gnus, or .emacs, or does it matter?): (setq gnus-local-domain lightcom.net) (setq gnus-user-from-line Lars Louder [EMAIL PROTECTED]) (setq user-mail-address [EMAIL PROTECTED]) (setq gnus-local-organization What? I'm not organized.) ;;(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods (setq gnus-select-method '(nnml lars_mail)) (setq nnmail-split-methods '((other ))) ;;that's been trimmed :D ;;(setq nnmail-spool-file po:lars) (setq nnml-spool-file /var/spool/mail/lars) ;; And here is the message I get: Cannot read active file from nnml server. Loading gnus-cache... Loading gnus-cache...done Looking for new newsgroups... Reading active file from lars_mail via nnml... Cannot read active file from nnml server. No new newsgroups. Checking new news... Checking new news...done No news is horrible news No more unread newsgroups I think this is a problem with movemail, as it is in /usr/local/bin or would it matter where it is?
