Just for you, I exited Gnus (gasp) to test this a bit more. If I start Gnus and try to activate a group on that server with `M-g', it tries to use tls and fails. But if I instead do `3 g' to activate all groups at level 3, it works. (The only groups I have from that server are on level 3, and I start Gnus with `(gnus 2 t)', which is like gnus-no-server, only activating groups up to level 2.) Dan
