Suppose you have server parameters, like this: (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnfolder "" (some-parameter some-value))) Suppose that you then change the value. Then what happens with all the existing entries in .newsrc.eld which have the old value? That's why it is better to have "nnfolder:" in there, I think, because then Gnus will pick up the parameters from gnus-secondary-select-methods. kai -- ~/.signature: No such file or directory
