I got an error that "nnfolder:" wasn't a list. (And I did include the parentheses around it.) So I've set gnus-secondary-select-methods to ((nnfolder "")). Will this cause me some problems? > Edit your .newsrc.eld (while Gnus is > not running) to remove whichever entry from gnus-server-alist you > don't want to use. I don't want to use "archive", but when I removed it from gnus-server-alist I got an error message when Gnus started, even though the string `archive' didn't appear anywhere in my .newsrc.eld or my .gnus. When I remove the "" entry, everything was fine. Is this a bug in gnus? It seems to have `archive' hardcoded somewhere. > Edit your .gnus to make > gnus-message-archive-method nil;=20 > I think the above should work if you don't use > gnus-message-archive-group.

If someone could write an overview of this stuff in the manual, that would be great. I find it incredibly confusing, even after reading all of the messages here. --=20 Dan Christensen jdc+news@uwo.ca
