It'll take the same arguments, 'C-u-2-g'. Just opens the needed servers. (God, Lars is cool...whoops, gotta sound 'adult' here) The answers given about 'gnus-no-server' work fine, too, I'm sure, but I thought you didn't need to do that, and tested it just now. It worked fine for me, and both seemed to behave the same--if you listed all your groups, the nnspool-ers would come up with an asterisk. But if you hit plain 'g', even the gnus-no-server gnus would read them. (I'd wondered if that'd be different, but it seems a gnus is a gnus, unless of course it's the famous Mr. Ed. Crap, wait, that's my name. Y'know, when I met rms, he reacted with the ol' 'Mr. Ed' schtick. Don't meet your heroes. :-) See, this is what happens when I post at 2am and don't keep it short and sweet... So: ARG-gnus, gnus-no-server--authorities, are they pretty much the same, or do subtleties lurk? Thanks, -- Ed Donovan edonovan@world.std.com
