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.
