After set gnus-select-method(is it the minimal setting option?) by custom-set-variables '(gnus-select-method (quote (nntp "gnu.emacs.bug"))) I try to link to the news server, but Emacs give out error as below. "Unable to open server nntp+gnu.emacs.bug, go offline? nntp (gnu.emacs.bug) open error: '', Continue?" My environment is WinXP and Emacs23.1. Any suggestion is welcome! Thanks, Shenli
