Yeah, that works, if include

    (setq gnus-select-method
          '(nnfolder "" 
                     (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil) 
                     (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t)))

otherwise it crashes.

I've read the info docs and combed through my ~/.newsrc.eld, but I'm
still at a loss as to why it still attempts to connect to "news" via
nntp.  No NNTP* or NEWS env.  Got (setq gnus-nntp-server nil) to be
sure.  No /etc/nntpserver.  Does it automatically look for a host
name "news"?

Oh well, will fiddle with it more later.
