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? kai -- There ain't no cure for the summer time blues.
