I just read this section of the manual. Since I'm my own News administrator, I'll try to run the old and the new News server simultaneously on the same machine. I hope I can convince my old nntpd (or the new INN) to use a different port and a different spool area... This statement of the manual makes me a little bit anxious: After changing servers, you *must* move the cache hierarchy away, since the cached articles will have wrong article numbers, which will affect which articles Gnus thinks are read. Okay, moving away doesn't mean that the articles are lost. Is there any builtin functionally to make Gnus slurp in the cached articles after the servers are changed? -- work : ke@suse.de | : http://www.suse.de/~ke/ | ------ ,__o home : ke@gnu.franken.de | ------ _-\_<, : http://www.franken.de/users/gnu/ke/ | ------ (*)/'(*)
