non-fetched groups

non-fetched groups

[David Hedbor]

For some reasons the groups from two news servers start up being
unknown (ie not opened or whatever). One group on the main news server 
does open correctly - it has select-method = nil. The other ones have
nntp:<server> and they don't work. Why might this happen?

Because your settings indicate that foreign groups aren't to be
activated?  See the manual for details.

Well, the server is the same. I did subscribe to the groups from the
server buffer. What puzzles me are that 1) a couple foreign
(secondary?) servers work. The ones that doesn't work are in
gnus-select-method and -secondary-. It did work before too and I
didn't change anything AFAIK. I will however check the manual out.

`G e' on the groups and compare.

I don't understand how a group can be both native and secondary.
