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 ... clemens
