Subject: Entering servers
Date: 23 Feb 2001 12:47:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <vafg0h51uzc.fsf@lucy.cs.uni-dortmund.de> (raw)
When I create a new group, it asks me for a server. I can enter
`nnml' as well as `nnml:' there. It seems to be fairly clear what
`nnml:' means -- Gnus looks at the list of servers searching for one
that looks like (nnml "" ...parameters.here...).
It's not at all clear to me what it means to say `nnml', though.
I think it is not necessary to allow people to enter selection method
names, it should be sufficient to let them enter server names. So I
hereby propose that `nnml' is forbidden, and only `nnml:' is allowed.
Maybe the `nnml' form allows people to create a server on the fly.
This might be useful, but I think it confuses people more than it is
worth, and one can always go to the server buffer to create a server.
Thoughts? Opinions?
