That took care of the subscription problem, but another one arose: As suggested in http://my.gnus.org/Lisp/1031707976, I have (setq nnrss-use-local t) in my .gnus. I used nnrss-generate-download-script to generate a shell-script to fetch the feeds, and I have a cron job that runs that shell script. The shell script works. The trouble is that nnrss doesn't update the .el files corresponding to the .xml files when I hit `g' to get new news. It's clearly doing _something_ with them, for `g' takes a few seconds with the nnrss groups subscribed (rather than a fraction of a second if I unsubscribe from them). Result: the .xml files have new articles, the .el files have old articles, and so do the summary buffers for the group. Any suggestions on how I might diagnose this? Thanks in advance, --Joe >> P.S.: If Shenghuo Zhu is on this list, please accept my compliments for >> implementing another reason to never leave gnus.
