Hi,
the name of an nntp server is just a string suitable for identifying
it, right? The value used to determine which host to contact is
nntp-server-address, right?
I created an nntp server "blubb", then edited it to have
nntp-server-address "maria" and nntp-port-number 9000. I tried to
Open that server from the server buffer -- no joy :(
I created a second nntp server same as "blubb" but called it "maria"
(same as nntp-server-address). This one worked.
The problem lies with nntp-open-network-stream, somehow:
(defun nntp-open-network-stream (server)
(open-network-stream
"nntpd" nntp-server-buffer server nntp-port-number))
I'm not sure if this should be nntp-server-address rather than server,
or if all the places calling this should be changed.
For the time being, I'm changing this to nntp-server-address, but I'd
like to know if this is right.
What's the story?

Yup.

Nope. `nntp-address' is the right variable for that.
