Subject: Gnus of emacs21 not reading NNTPSERVER on Fink/Mac OS 10.4.3
Date: Tue, 6 Dec 2005 11:41:18 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <B2AA4331-A518-4FE8-8857-761C21AD683A@math.su.se> (raw)

I cannot tell whether this is a problem in emacs21, or in the Fink  
version of for Mac OS 10.4.3:

I can get emacs21 to read the NNTPSERVER variable if I type (in  
uxterm/bash):
   env NNTPSERVER=<newsserver> emacs21 &
but I cannot get emacs21 to read it otherwise, for example, by putting
   NNTPSERVER=<newsserver>
into ".profile" and ".bashrc", nor does typing
   NNTPSERVER=<newsserver>
   emacs21 &
work.

If I make a ".gnus" file with say
   (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news1.comhem.se"))
   (setq gnus-check-new-newsgroups 'ask-server)
   ...
then Gnus loads and works for news reading. But I am curious about  
this problem with emacs21 not reading an environment variable, it  
apparently should.
