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.
