Thanks. OK, so I wasn't off the mark, then. :-) I'm not even sure this needs to be fixed. It's good that the fact that the server couldn't be reached is signalled, but continuing seems like the right thing to do. The message is somewhat misleading though. How about changing the "question" to a "Please ack!" of some kind? Cheers, /Liman larsi@gnus.org 2021-10-12 14:39 [+0200]: > Lars-Johan Liman writes: >> My question: how is my answer (yes/no) used?
