I have deleted settings of gnus-read-active-file and
gnus-check-new-newsgroups from my ~/.gnus file, so
gnus-read-active-file is 'some and gnus-check-new-newsgroups is
'ask-server.
Strangely, when starting Gnus some newsgroups have the correct article
count and some have only `*'.
Here's the data of a `broken' newsgroup:
,-----
| ;;; Editing the group info for `nntp:comp.infosystems.harvest'.
| ;; Type `C-c C-c' after you've finished editing.
|
| ("nntp:comp.infosystems.harvest" 3 nil nil
| (nntp ""
| (nntp-address "fbi-news")))
`-----
Here's the data of a `working' newsgroup:
,-----
| ;;; Editing the group info for `nntp:comp.databases.theory'.
| ;; Type `C-c C-c' after you've finished editing.
|
| ("nntp:comp.databases.theory" 3
| ((1 . 14198))
| nil
| (nntp "fbi-news"))
`-----
Strangely, after typing C-c C-c the display of this newsgroup changed
to `nntp+fbi-news:comp.databases.theory'.
What might be the problem?
I have:
,-----
| (setq gnus-select-method '(nnml ""))
| (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
| '((nntp ""
| (nntp-address "fbi-news"))))
`-----

I have now reverted back to setting gnus-select-method to my nntp
server and gnus-secondary-select-methods to nnml. The other way round
just wasn't worth the hassle...
