And why not when gnus startup, I see nntp: news.wsu.edu wsunews My main News server nntp: news.ifcss.org ifcssnews A server for chinese news groups nnml: private privatemail My mail groups .. .. ..... .. .. ..... So when I choose the first entry, gnus will start nntp to get news from `news.wsu.edu' according the `wsunews.eld' startup file. And when I choose the third entry, it will just go get my newly arrived mail and open my mail groups according the `privatemail.eld' startup file. Right now I am using (defun wsu () "Use `news.wsu.edu' as NNTP server for gnus." (interactive) (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.wsu.edu" "119")) (setq gnus-startup-file "~/gnus-startup/wsu") (my-gnus-quick-start) (gnus)) for each nntp server. -- Ching-Mo Chang
