Right now it only contains the text nil, and no servers were agentized when I started Gnus. Can I delete everything in the ~/News/agent/ directory, except this file? > The point of the patch is that auto-agentification only happens once > (unless you modify ~/News/agent/ manually).

Can you suggest/describe a better logic that > does what you want? Well, for me auto-agentizing is unexpected behaviour, and I wouldn't wish it ever to occur. I want to agentize servers when I say J a in the *Server* buffer, and only then.
