The manual says: ,----[ 10.4 Terminology - http://gnus.org/manual/gnus_366.html ] | native | Gnus will always use one method (and back end) as the native, or | default, way of getting news. | | foreign | You can also have any number of foreign groups active at the same | time. These are groups that use non-native non-secondary back ends | for getting news. | | secondary | Secondary back ends are somewhere half-way between being native and | being foreign, but they mostly act like they are native. `---- Best regards, Adam -- "This is either madness... or brilliance."
