Subject: recovering from `G a'
Date: Tue, 11 Nov 1997 15:36:42 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <19971111233642.27521.rocketmail@send1b.yahoomail.com> (raw)

The other day, I accidentally pressed `G a'
which I guess invokes some kind of efs 
retrieval of the ding archives and creates
a new group based on them.  I'm behind a 
gateway, so this failed immediately with an
unknown host message.

The problem is that I now can't read news because
every time I start up Gnus, this ftp process
starts and fails leaving me looking at it's
buffer instead of at my groups.  Restarting
XEmacs doesn't help either.  How do I tell
Gnus to stop trying to fetch these archives,
I have no interest in them.  

Many Thanks.
