How about C-u 0 C-c C-c, then choosing the right backend?

My colleagues have reported symptoms like this.  Maybe you are
looking at the same problem.  Can you investigate why it happens?

My problem is that whenever I try to look hard at the problem, it
goes away.  I go to a colleague's desk and look what's happening with
his Gnus.  I try to poke around a bit.  I can't find anything.  Then
I go back to my own machine and make it use the same Emacs they are
using and the same Gnus they are using.  The problem happens again.
I install a new version of Oort.  The problem goes away.  I tell them
the problem is solved by upgrading the software.  Some moons later,
they tell me the problem is still there.

Argh.

Cool.  I didn't know that exists.  Gotta try it someday.
