If anyone wants to take twenty seconds and satisfy my curiosity -- does that variable hold anything else for you? Anything but the archive server? It looks like `gnus-server-method-cache' ends up actually holding the information that would also have gone in `gnus-server-alist'. Anyway, I hope some of you will humor me! Eric
