Hi,
About two months ago I tried using ange-ftp to read my mail/news from
home. A friend who uses FSF Emacs and did it regularly suggested I
try. I use XEmacs and have had nothing but trouble.
Summary of the problem:
1) XEmacs does not properly load the .newsrc file - I only get a set
of default groups.
2) FSF Emacs does the right thing.
I'm including the ftp buffers from one session each with xemacs and
FSF emacs - both started with -q and loading in my gnus setup by hand
(my gnus config file is included at the end).
Help?

What does
(load "/jasons@chaco.cs.unm.edu:.newsrc-lynx.unm.edu.eld" t t t)
do under XEmacs?
