That gives me an idea: I could add a secondary nntp server, then subscribe a group on it. Then I see what's the difference between the native nntp group entries in ~/.newsrc.eld and the secondary ones, and off I go (editing ~/.newsrc.eld). And when the native server doesn't have any subscribed groups, I just change gnus-select-method to point to the IMAP server. And then I subscribe a group there and again I have a template to work from. Ah. That might actually work. Or maybe I just do what you did: create a tentative config with nnimap as native and nntp as secondary. But I think I did something like this before (nnml rather than nnimap, though), and I went back for some reason. Hm. Maybe the reason was that I didn't have gnus-post-method set to current back then, so it was difficult to post news. But I'm not sure what was the problem back then. Ah, maybe I'll just try it and see what happens :-) kai -- Be indiscrete. Do it continuously.
