No, that is still the location were the agentized servers are stored. > The filestamp on my copy is from early July, and the content is still > the same old scrambled hodgepodge (as discussed in private mail). True. So far, gnus has been internally converting the old format to the new. What you probably want to do, but are not required to do, is edit the list of agentized servers. That will trigger an update to the servers file. So, open the server buffer then use 'J r' and 'J a' to change which servers are agentized then undo the change. Each update will trigger a file update so, when you are done, you'll have the same list of agentized servers with the updated servers file. > Thanks for your work, btw. Your welcome. Kevin
