Try to > prefix it with "nntp+news.gmane.org:". Incidentally, this is one of the things I find the most annoying about gnus secondary servers/select-methods -- it's _very_ common that the group names are entirely disjoint (e.g. gmane always uses "gmane.") or simple to disambiguate (I call all my mail groups "mail." and I do not care about usenet "mail." groups -- I always want my group names to take precedence), but still I always have to use the stupid (long) prefix for everything except the primary method... It would be really nice if there were a setting in gnus which would essentially allow me to map group names _without_ a select-method prefix to particular prefixes. E.g. something like, (setq gnus-select-method-mapping-alist '(("^gmane\\." . "nntp+news.gmane.org") ("^mail\\." . "nnml"))) Is there already such a function or setting in Gnus? [I primarily want this for interactive use -- I suppose it would make sense to not do such mappings for group names stored in files etc.] -Miles -- "1971 pickup truck; will trade for guns"
