I'm trying to do KG> something similar: separate the news (NNTP) and mail (nnml) stuff as KG> completely as possible. Can be done quite easilly, actually; I have been doing it all along. The trick is to maintain separate .newsrc files (.newsrc for mail, .newsrc-server for news), and use "correct" values for gnus-select-method. I use a set of foo-gnus functions to Do The Right Thing for me (rat:gnus is just a wrapper which does a bit of other housekeeping for me): (defun mail-gnus () (interactive) (setq gnus-select-method '(nnml "")) (rat:gnus t)) (defun ccs-gnus () (interactive) (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.ccs.neu.edu")) (rat:gnus nil)) To "convert" an existing setup, I think the easiest thing to do is to copy .newsrc and .newsrc.eld to .newsrc-server and .newsrc-server.eld. Then start Gnus with each value of gnus-select-menthod and delete the groups you don't want. This is a lot easier than editing a .eld file by hand. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3a Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBMsfeW56VRH7BJMxHAQFf6wP/foWoXCIKFv47GqhYo+S91LB/EvNRNnVO TFDIhbxMgAdKgI3Q9OjoDc9V4AR5xFarYxB+prAJPj8BLCFWD2p17IAJtLLEq5se xWwCi9ZL40xYwK0JveOTtncZe8Owg6yplg9wYo4kcTh/LP3ocqIIziyyth3WDP2p iy5OQAZsFSQ= =b42k -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Rich Pieri | Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
