Now that the easy stuff is out of the way.... I want to convert my .newsrc.eld such that the default news server becomes a foreign server -- changing all the goups therein into foreign groups -- w/o losing any of the details, such as articles read, ticked, cached, etc. Ie, I want *only* foreign groups when done. Is there any easy way to do so in pgnus? I suspect not, so the real question is what-all I have to do to the eld file to effect this. Removing the default server from .gnus.el and .emacs.el is obvious. As is changing the filenames in ~/News/cache. I suspect it is safe to assume that anything that matches: ("\([^:]+\)" can be changed to: ("nntp+SERVER:\1" Yes? Is it really that simple? Anyone have any thoughts on this?
