According to the info pages on 'unplugged', all that is needed is to
insert (gnus-agentize) in .gnus, and start Gnus with M-x gnus-unplugged.

This is not working for me so tried the techniques posted here.


M-x load-library <RET> gnus-agent <RET>
Then M-x gnus-unplugged <RET>

Message from minibuffer:
>nntp (enews.newsguy.com) open error: No such file or directory
>continue (y or n)

Of course if I say no then the session is over.
If I say yes then:
>Gnus auto-save file exists. Do you want to read it? (y or n)
Either 'y or n' will produce this:
Wrong type argument: stringp, nnagent-active-file
