Excuse me if this is the wrong list for a usage question...  I
typically respond to posts and this has worked well.  Today I tried
posting a new article with 'a' and on a send attempt it errors and
says "No method specified to send by".  Looking through the docs and
through example .gnus files I got from www.gnus.org as reference
materials I came up with

        (setq gnus-post-method '(nntp "news.orgtek.com"))

to tell gnus how to post.  Made no difference.  My select method is:

        (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.orgtek.com"))
        
news.orgtek.com is my private news server.  What else do I need to
tell gnus?  It is v0.95 on Emacs 20.4, by the way.

Interesting.  I also see this every once in a while.  I type C-u 0 C-c
C-c and then choose the right method for posting.

I had thought this was because I set gnus-post-method to `current' and
Gnus sometimes doesn't know what method is current.  But it also seems
to happen when gnus-post-method isn't `current'.  Hm.

I've never seen this.  Hm.  Uhm.  What is `message-post-method' in the 
Message buffer after you've hit `a'?
