An nntodo question from the past.

An nntodo question from the past.

[Jesse F. Hughes]

I'm too easily distracted.  While learning about spam.el, I noticed a
question about nnir.el.  That sounded pretty cool, so I went to
download it.

In the same directory, I found nntodo.el.  That sounded useful, too,
so I downloaded it, too.

Unfortunately, I haven't had much luck with it.  I found in Google
that many people have had the same problem I have.  Namely, when I try
to post to that group (using "C-u a"), I get 

     No methods specified to send by

If I try to copy a message into the group, I get

  Wrong number of arguments: #<compiled-function (prompt table
  &optional predicate require-match initial-contents history)
  "...(49)" [table predicate require-match t nil last-exact-completion
  minibuffer-completion-confirm minibuffer-completion-predicate
  minibuffer-completion-table read-from-minibuffer prompt
  initial-contents minibuffer-local-completion-map
  minibuffer-local-must-match-map history] 6 778275>, 7

I haven't found any post in the previous threads which solved this
problem.  Anyone know what's wrong here?  (I'm using Oort v24).

Other distractions during the past couple of days:  I now have an
nnvirtual group and an nnkiboze group.  Gnus rocks.  But, it seems
that I've spent time trying to get Gnus to present my todo list
instead of actually completing any of the items on the list.  Well,
nothing new there.

I typed C-u 0 C-c C-c, as you suggested.

Signaling: (error "No methods specified to send by")
  signal(error ("No methods specified to send by"))
  cerror("No methods specified to send by")
  apply(cerror "No methods specified to send by")

I'll look at it.  Another way to waste time.  Thanks.

I think that nndiary will suit my needs just fine.  Thanks.
