I read mail from several machines. So when I fire up gnus, I am prompted for passwords for these machines. Sometimes, I prefer to ignore mail from a machine, and do away with entering a password. An acceptable thing then is a '*' in the group line for this particular group, along with a message would indicating that this particular mail group is unavailable. However, if I hit a return when prompted for a password, gnus stops from getting any further groups. Question: Is there a clean way to continue to read rest of the news/mail except that particular mail group which I wish to ignore?
