It will probably be because the group level for the sas-l group is 3, although you use `gnus-no-server': ,---- (info "(gnus)The Server is Down") ---- | it will just activate all groups on level | 1 and 2. (You should preferably keep no native groups on those two | levels.) Also *note (info "(gnus)Group Levels"). `---- Furthermore, it will also be one of the causes that the topic mode shows even the groups that have not been activated (bug?). Maybe the solution is: ,---- (info "(gnus)Group Levels") ---- | `S l' | Set the level of the current group. If a numeric prefix is given, | the next N groups will have their levels set. The user will be | prompted for a level. `---- Otherwise you can use `M-3 M-x gnus' (`M-3' means `Meta 3', which can be replaced with `C-u 3' or `ESC 3'). BTW, `M-2 M-x gnus' is similar to `M-x gnus-no-server', but the former doesn't modify the value of the variable `gnus-group-use-permanent-levels' while the later does. I like the former. Regards,
