Subject: Can't ask Gnus to check for all unknown groups
Date: 06 Aug 1998 20:22:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <HBF.980806qb6r@bombur2.uio.no> (raw)
If you edit .newsrc.eld (and .newsrc if you have got one) and remove a
group, `gnus-group-find-new-groups' won't reinsert it if you have
gnus-check-new-newsgroups = 'ask-server
gnus-read-active-file = 'some
That can happen if you tidy up .newsrc.eld "by hand" without considering
your gnus setup too closely.
So I suggest that `gnus-group-find-new-groups' gets a prefix arg which
causes it to in effect do
(let ((gnus-check-new-newsgroups t)
(gnus-read-active-file t))
...)
if gnus-save-killed-list is non-nil.
(If it did this for gnus-save-killed-list = nil, all the killed groups
would be reinserted in .newsrc.eld, which seems like a good way to start
a "chop up Lars with an axe"-competition. Though of course
gnus-save-killed-list = nil could instead cause the new groups to be
listed in a *Killed Groups* buffer or something, from which the user
could pick his groups. Or maybe something like that exists already?)
