Error in server mode with disabled gnus-archive

Error in server mode with disabled gnus-archive

A couple notes...

1. doing a std. followup "f" key I got this header (I used a followup with
   deleted References to get the group name.  Ill have to set up the
   gnus-mailing-list-groups, but I'm not really sure what that variable
   will do, like how does it grok the mailing list name from the group, and
   will it work with the ding-list group?

	"To: (d. hall)"

My features variable...
features's value is (info view gnus-srvr mel-q env cookie1 misc-utils supercite regi mailalias mailabbrev tm-edit signature tm-ew-e tm-view tm-parse tm-ew-d tm-def tm-orig tl-misc tl-atype tl-list tl-822 tl-str emu emu-orig emu-19 tl-seq mel gnus-cite gnus-msg mailcrypt timer ange-ftp backquote comint ring nndir nnml nnvirtual nntp rnews nndraft nnmh mini-cl cl cl-19 nnfolder nnmail readnews gnus-vis easymenu gnus-score gnus gnus-cus browse-url gnus-ems custom nnheader rmail sendmail timezone mail-utils fontify disp-table startup keymap defaults functions crypt crypt++ filladapt rsz-mini advice advice-preload uniquify ediff-hook vc-hooks lisp-float-type lisp-mode page menu-bar select scroll-bar mouse facemenu faces frame x-toolkit)

And the debug info on the server.  It lists "archive", I set my
gnus-message-archive-method to nil (and I'm still getting nnmh loaded =( ).

That variable is used to signal that a newsgroup (from an nntp server)
is really a mailing list.  This makes commands like `f' and the like
behave as if you were following up to mail.

What you want is probably the `to-list' or `to-address' group
parameters.

This is due to a bug in `mail-utils', which is fixed in Emacs
19.30.92.

Don't do that.  Uhmn.  Grumble.  Ok, I'll add lots of tests everywhere
for whether the archive method is nil in 0.44.
