For a trip last week, I decided to finally give the agent a try now that I've discovered cygwin and XEmacs running under it. I copied over my startup files to my cygwin home directory, modified my .gnus to call gnus-agentize per the info, ran xemacs and gnus, and set up two categories. I changed the default predicate to false and in the fetch category, predicate is set to true. I added six groups to the fetch category and ran J s to fetch the articles in those groups. I verified by looking at the agent directory structure and went home happy. I'm fairly certain that that's all I needed to do according to the info. On the plane I tried to run M-x gnus-unplugged. Gnus appeared to hang interminably long. Eventually I gave up with a C-g. My guess is that nnimap is trying to do authentication even in unplugged mode. When I got to the hotel and dialed up my company's modem pool, I was able to run gnus-unplugged with no hanging but nnimap did authenticate me to the server. I tried this repeatedly; running gnus-unplugged while connected and not. When not connected it hangs. Is there a workaround? Thanks, -- Dave Goldberg dsg@world.std.com
