Well, that fixed it. But now I have the problem that it does try to
access the mailserver when I set the level to 2.  Sometimes I just want
offline access to the mailbox.  gnus-no-server was intuitive except
for the frightening error. :) Really, for a minute I thought the nnml
mail folder was a goner.

At least, can there be a graceful "no" instead of an error like that?

That's not the easiest thing to hit to get offline access is it? :)
 Granted, anything Gnus and easiest do not sit well on the same
 sentence.
