I think. Aha. So agent/lib/servers has just 'nil' in it, as I'd expect. However, I notice that gnus-agentize has the following code in it: (unless gnus-agent-covered-methods (setq gnus-agent-covered-methods (list gnus-select-method)))) which explains why it keeps thinking that it wants to agentize my nnspool: server. Why should it be doing this? I suggest that it's a bug, though assume that there's some reason for it to have been added. Maybe the intent was so that the first time the agent is started it makes a reasonable guess for what to agentize? I've 'fixed' this by just setting gnus-agent-covered-methods to nil right after I (gnus-agentize) in my .gnus.el, but this seems like it shouldn't be necessary... -matt -- Matt Pharr mmp@graphics.stanford.edu
