X-Mailer: ViewMail Version 5.95 (beta) Original-Lines: 19 Xref: main.gmane.org gmane.emacs.gnus.general:3923 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general:3923 I'm using a dialup to get news, which works well. Until I started using gnus to read mail. Now, if I'm offline and want to read my mail, I have to wait while gnus makes 20+ called to `open-network-stream' (which on my system means running the tcp program). I always connect to the nntp server on the first try (when I'm online), so is there a way to ask gnus to only try once? I've tried `gnus-no-server' but this seems not to display my backends.. :( Thanks. -- ... "There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX.
