For various reasons I want to start completely from scratch on reading news. For this I have done the following: rm .newsrc .newsrc.eld .gnus .nnmail-cache rm -rf News Mail There are no references to gnus in my init.el or custom.el (I use xemacs on Windows). I am on the latest drop of ngnus (No Gnus v0.6). When I start gnus first, I am fine with subscribing newsgroups, etc. I then quit out of gnus using q. The 2nd time I start gnus, I always see a * against the newsgroups I subscribed previously. I can then press and look at the ng, at which time it starts showing the number of posts in that ng, but when I quit and start gnus again I see an * again. And this keeps on happening. What am I missing here? - Haider
