That's correct. What happened when I changed it from being the primary to secondary select method? The manual says: "The select methods listed in this variable are *in many ways* just as native as the `gnus-select-method' server." What does *in many ways* mean? > Changing that is tricky. if you have an old newsrc.eld from before > the change, it might be best to put it back and make nntp secondary. Unfortunately I don't have an old newsrc.eld. Which files should I delete to come back to a clean setup? I can see that my newsrc.eld file contains the setting I've made when customizing the Group parameters, but that's nothing vital. I don't have a any marks on newsgroup postings, so that won't be an issue. I want my old mail preserved (of course). I think Gnus is great, but it's somewhat hard to understand. I've read through the Info pages with great interest - they're written in a brilliant tone - but I'm still having problems with understanding what's going on at times... But I guess that's just because it's such a large program. -- Best regards, Martin Geisler Checkout http://www.gimpster.com for: PHP Weather => Shows the current weather on your webpages.
