Subject: Make Gnus emit more errors for unknown servers?
Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2001 11:25:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <vafadxngghs.fsf@INBOX.auto.gnus.tok.lucy.cs.uni-dortmund.de> (raw)
I think if Gnus finds a group name where no server exists, it just
creates a server on the fly. So for example, if people add
(nnml "" (nnml-directory "/tmp/foo"))
to gnus-secondary-select-methods, then create some groups in that
server, then accidentally delete that entry from
gnus-secondary-select-methods, Gnus will create a (nnml "") server on
the fly, and then it won't be able to open the groups.
I think it is better to emit an error message in such a case.
(Hm. Though it is not clear how people are supposed to add the
missing server to the server buffer in such a case -- they can't
start Gnus. Hm. Ideas?)
