None of that works for me. Thats why I asked for examples.
I always get an error no matching groups. Even on known
match strings I mean.
debugger output futher along.
Using gmane I get a bunch of suedo articles that are really all the
links on the lead page of gmane. Something like:
G w google "example zone files" returns:
( know you said gmane wasn't working yet....)

Going to the second hit on nnweb using index search I find a little more
info, in particular:
You must have the `url' and `W3' package or those alternatives (try
`customize-group' on the `mm-url' variable group) installed to be able
to use `nnweb'.
Looking at that I guess I need to toggle it on and set w3m. I changed
over to w3m a while back for viewing html articles.
Looking up the suggested variable to customize I toggled it on and set
to w3m saved for future.
Now trying nneb I get:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Couldn't request group: No matching articles")
signal(error ("Couldn't request group: No matching articles"))
error("Couldn't request group: %s" "No matching articles")
