This causes an error when trying to build the *Group* buffer and gnus never fully initializes. The backtrace is: Signaling: (wrong-type-argument sequencep nntp) mapcar(# nntp) gnus-correct-length(nntp) (- 10 (gnus-correct-length gnus-tmp-news-method)) (let ((need ...))

I would like to get nntp working soon. This configuration is known-good for v5.8.8 which is what I used until last night. I'm not subscribed, so please CC me on any replies. Thanks for creating a great email reader! Scott
