Hi there,

Is there a way to make gnus NOT check the primary server and even NOT use it at all ?

I tried setting the variable gnus-select-method to nil but gnus allways wants a nntp server !

Starting gnus with gnus-no-server-1 works, but then hitting 'g' tries to connect to a default nntp server :-(


Any idea ?
