Thanks Karl,
Er ... I think I'm trying to do something foolish here..
Lars function closes gnus down when finished. Should your line above
work with just emacs running? I've evaled (C-xC-e) in a scatch
buffer of a running gnus ..."nil" is reported in the echo area,
the deed is done, then shutdown. And of course this function depends
on gnus shutting down to write the .newsrc.eld that the offline gnus
needs to read. (I think)
How would one go about overcoming this aspect and run the code in a
running emacs, periodically?
(defun lars-fetch-news ()
(interactive)
(push "/usr/local/pgnus-0.96/lisp" load-path)
(let ((init-file-user "")
(gnus-always-read-dribble-file t))
(gnus))
(gnus-group-send-drafts)
(gnus-agent-fetch-session)
(gnus-group-quit))
