Two places where this > happens are indicated below by <------- in the right margin: I've now fixed the first, but for the latter you can just set `gnus-check-new-newsgroups' to nil.

Quassia Gnus will allow you to enter Gnus through the server buffer which will let you pick and choose which servers to contact. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
