On login failure (^G being one of them), I seem to lose all group customizations unless I tell Gnus to switch to "offline" mode (I don't know the exact circumstances when Gnus offers this option and asks me), so the next time, Gnus will ask me whether I want to subscribe to the groups (listing them in the minibuffer), and all options like Posting Styles (to set the address) or the To- or List addresses seem to be lost. Have I misconfigured Gnus or is there a bug? I'd think that data for a server must not be touched or removed when I can't connect and I tell Gnus "don't go offline". Apparently Gnus thinks the groups no longer exist in this case "cannot connect, don't go offline". -- Matthias Andree
