I think people should > just customize this to do what they want. I can certainly sympathise with that in the general case. The reason I was looking for a way to make Gnus query whether to try Deja is that I have an intermittent Internet connection, and there is no easy way to tell if the Internet connection is up. I don't want Gnus to try and contact Deja when the connection is down, but I would like to have the option to do so when the connection is up. I did try mocking around with gnus-refer-article-method, and using the example from the Info documentation, namely (setq gnus-refer-article-method '(current (nnweb "refer" (nnweb-type dejanews)))) does not seem to work correctly. Pressing ^ on an article whose parent is still present on the server works correctly. However, if I press ^ on an article whose parent has expired, XEmacs complains: Cannot open load file: current The backtrace is: signal(file-error ("Cannot open load file" "current")) load("current" nil t nil) require(current) gnus-server-opened((current (nnweb "refer" (nnweb-type dejanews)))) gnus-check-group-server() gnus-request-article-this-buffer(-4 "dk.edb.system.unix.hardware") gnus-article-prepare(-4 nil) gnus-summary-display-article(-4 nil) gnus-summary-goto-article(-4 nil t) gnus-summary-refer-article("") gnus-summary-refer-parent-article(1) call-interactively(gnus-summary-refer-parent-article) This is with a CVS pgnus as of ten minutes ago. -- Echelon bait: supercomputer Nazi AK-47 Bosnia Croatian Uzi SCUD missile Legion of Doom White Water Marxist Ron Brown smuggle Craig Livingstone Project Monarch quiche
