Well it has one server name looks like this: cat servers ("nntp:news.gmane.org" "native") And the current session is a restart so the agent flag is absent on gmane in server buffer. Server Buffer: {nnfolder:archive} (opened) {nntp:news.gmane.org} (opened) {nndir:/home/reader/Mail/prinb} (opened) {nndir:/anex/mail.bk} (opened) {nnml:} (opened) {nntp:enews.newsguy.com} (opened) (agent) However as you see, the agent flag is present on the only other nntp server enews.newsguy.com and it isn't mentioned at all in News/**/server directory. Newsguy is there from `select method' in gnus: (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "enews.newsguy.com")) Gmane was selectd using the B (foreign server) command in Group buffer long ago. However marking it as agentized in server buffer will not stick thru a restart. I'm going to cvs update now. Will report back if things still seem screwy
