Greetings,

There does not  seem to be such function  which raises the question
of what  does gnus-agentize  actually affect if  you don't  use the
agent functionality?  

The problem I  have is that I'm using  separate Gnus configurations
for reading  news and mail (functions  that I use  to start reading
mail  and  news  change  the active  configuration  (actually  just
gnus-select-method   and   few   rather  non-important   variables;
everything else  stays the  same, some things  just are  not used))
with separate  .newsrc-* files so that  I can read news  and mail at
the same  time in  different Emacs processes.   Now I want  to read
mail  and news  on another  machine too.   Mail part  is  "easy": I
mirror  folder  tree  with  rsync  and  fetch  new  mail  from  the
splitted-with-procmail -spool-folder to  that other machine with my
own  scripts  so Gnus  doesn't  even notice  that  I  read mail  on
different machines.

For  news,  I've  decided  to  abandon inn,  leafnode  etc.   based
solutions so  I thought agent  would be a  Good Idea on  that other
machine.  I don't want to  kill Emacs between reading mail and news
so  what do  I do?   I mean,  my initial  idea was  to add  call to
gnus-agentize to  the function that  invokes Gnus for  reading news
and  something like  gnus-unagentize to  the function  that invokes
Gnus for reading mail, but since  there is no such function I can't
do that.  But  do I really have to  care about gnus-agentize having
been called when I don't use agent functionality when reading mail?

I also  assume and  hope that  using agent doesn't  show up  in any
confusing way in .newsrc-* file or other state files which I use on
both  machines, the  other using  a direct  connection to  the news
server and the other one not.
