I have recently made a couple of attempts to post a query on gnu.emacs.gnus, but it seems my Gnus no longer can read it or post to it. FWIW, here is the query: I use Gnus 5.13 under Emacs 24.3 under Cygwin 1.5.25 under Windows XP. In my routines for reading email (at Verizon) when I do not want to read newsgroups (at eternal-september), I have been calling (gnus-no-server) without trouble until recently. Then (after weeding out some old nnfolder+archive:sent. directories), I found that (gnus-no-server) no longer allowed me to read mail. It brought up Gnus and allowed me to send mail, but gave the usual no-news message even when I in fact had mail. M-x gnus, however, brought up incoming mail (as well as newsgroups), as usual. On investigating with L in the *Group* buffer, I found that I had somehow unsubscribed to nnml:mail.misc. Resubscribing to it restored service under (gnus-no-server) once, but thereafter it failed again, tho I was still subscribed. What have I done wrong? -- --- Joe Fineman joe_f@verizon.net ||: When confused, read the manual, which will give you a good :|| ||: excuse. :||
