When I was using the agent, I had it set up so that when I did "g" while plugged, it got my mail from my local mail spool, and when I did it unplugged, it got the news that had been downloaded. I think the relevant parts of my .gnus.el were: ;read news from the server on world (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.std.com")) (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "private"))) It must have been trying to contact the nntp server when I did "g" while plugged, but it didn't take long for it to give up.

This is what I have switched to. I don't really like it, because leafnode is pretty slow on my setup, but it does work, and seems a more intuitive interface than the "J j g J j g" thing I had to use for getting mail and news with the agent. -- Laura (mailto:lconrad@world.std.com , http://www.world.std.com/~lconrad/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (801) 365-6574 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139
