OK. Let me modify this slightly. If I respond to "Gnus auto-save file exists. Do you want to read it?" with "yes", then Gnus reads a file which tells it which newsgroups I am subscribed to. However, I still have to wait for the "nntp read:" download, which takes several minutes. Is there anyway to bypass "nntp read."? Also, can I configure emacs so that it automatically reads the start-up file with my newsgroup subcriptions?
