Yeah, doing so worked. I guess, now, that in .newsrc.eld (nntp "news.gmane.org") means "the foreign server defined by this", while "nntp:news.gmane.org" means "the secondary server named news.gmane.org". And when I changed my access to news.gmane.org from being as a foreign server to a secondary method (waaaaay back), I didn't update .newsrc.eld to reflect that (didn't know any better), thus causing me the problem I tried to fix without understanding why I had that problem. Thanks for kicking me in the right direction; I'm pretty sure, now, that the patch I posted shouldn't be applied. Case closed :-) Best regards, Adam -- "May the force be...
