nnrss broken?

nnrss broken?

[Michael Harnois]

Since adding nnrss to my list of tricks, every time I check for new
mail, a buffer entitled rssl0 appears with this message:

Could not contact host: www.blogspace.com / 80
Attempted using gateway method: native
---- Error was: ----
www.blogspace.com/80 No address associated with hostname

The problem is that the site is gone (a few days ago, it was OK) and
url-insert-file-contents (4.0pre46) pops a buffer when such error
happens (I am not sure whether the CVS url package behaves the same).

In most time, I use wget to download those pages.  First, (setq
nnrss-use-local t) to use the local copies of pages if exist.  Then,
`M-x nnrss-generate-download-script RET' generates a script for
downloading.

OK ... then where do I save this script, and what as?
