I did this accidentally today when I typed R when I forgot my focus was on the Emac X window. At first I thought it just decided to hide them by switching displayed levels on me, but L did not produce my missing newsgroups. In gnus.el the function (gnus-group-restart) (defun gnus-group-restart (&optional arg) "Force Gnus to read the .newsrc file." (interactive "P") (gnus-save-newsrc-file) (gnus-setup-news 'force) (gnus-group-list-groups arg)) Should a check be made before asking gnus-setup-news via 'force? Or maybe bugging out as soon as we know we're not supposed to read the newsrc file. It's a matter of capibility and second guessing the user's intentions. d. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.4, an Emacs/PGP interface iQCVAwUBMTQ/Z4X26urqpgG1AQG+KAP/RyRkavIaxXkXeV72p8T4Lv4DPATiK28l uJsrg2JOzx+3V7HDJ8/OnZUDXlWLSXj1u/IDwyEC09f2cHn/Dc+0ZsFnBqGoocCD BdUPaeReYivO9JiEG1Qd4ZlaQq7gSKNA+AUEhcjKvkqFGEHeI2wkThIcqYRrazeI rWAWyYa8rvk= =2oeU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Grok: [from the novel "Stranger in a Strange Land", by R.
