sgnus does not obey gnus-nntp-server/gnus-select-metod.

[Hallvard B Furuseth]

My ~/.emacs says

(setq load-path (cons "/hom/larsi/pub/sgnus/lisp" load-path))
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "nntp.ifi.uio.no"))

gnus (on solva.ifi.uio.no with sgnus-0.73/emacs-19.30.98) answers:

nntp (nntp.ifi.uio.no) open error: 'NNTP server is not specified.'.     Continue? (y or n)

It makes no difference if I use
	(setq gnus-nntp-server "nntp.ifi.uio.no")
in addition to or instead of gnus-select-method.
I changed gnus-select-method to '(nnspool ""), that worked.


BTW, where did the gnus-summary-toggle-header binding go?  I miss it!


Regards,

Hallvard

It seems to depend on one's color of hair whether one has to do
something like the following:

(setq gnus-select-method
      '(nntp "fbi-news" (nntp-address "fbi-news")))
                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yup.  Fix in September Gnus v0.74.

There were too much trouble with it -- people accidentally hitting `v'
and not understanding what was going on and sending me bug reports, so
it went to `M-x gnus-summary-toggle-header'.  :-(
