I use my laptop to connect to news.gmane.org from home. The same port
is blocked in office. Since I use gnus to read my email too, it tries
to connect to gmane in office which I have to stop by hitting c-g.
How do I get interactive prompt which asks whether I should to
news.gmane.org every time? Or even better, a way to figure out
whether the laptop is connected to home or office network
automagically and not connect if it's office?
My email settings in .gnus.el
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil ""))
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnml ""))
(eval-after-load "mail-source"
'(add-to-list 'mail-sources '(file :path "/var/spool/mail/shanks")))
I use cygwin + fetchmail for email.
and connected to gmane through the group buffer and subscribed to the
groups directly.
regards
Shanks
