... which seems to be the problem. AFAICS nnrss.el will work as expected
when *every* RSS group is visited. i reckon the variables saved
`nnrss-group-alist' and `nnrss-server-data' only contain information about
actually visited RSS groups in gnus' memory.
a possible fix could be to make a backup of them everytime gnus is started
and merge in updates before writing them back when gnus finishes.
don't know how to do this, though. if anyone can provide enough pointers
to me, i'll propably do the fix myself ...
