Subject: Accessing cached articles without an active internet connection
Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2014 16:46:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87sioxfr5z.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
This is the general functionality I am trying to achieve:
In a nntp-group (usually gmane) I want to save few articles in such a
way that I can access these later even when gnus can't connect to the
server said group is on.
I found (info "(Gnus) Persistent Articles") to sound like something
really close to what I want to have. Marking articles with `*' stores
them in ~/News/cache/group.name and selecting such an article from
inside a group is significantly faster as doing so with a non-cached
article. Thus gnus really uses these cached articles.
Trying to open a group with cached articles inside while being offline
fails with something like the following:
"Opening nntp server on news.gmane.org...failed: >>> (error
news.gmane.org/nntp Name or service not known)"
Is there a way to enter this group despite not having an active
connection to the server? I only want to see articles that have been
cached (ergo reside locally on disk) anyway.
Any pointers are greatly appreciated.
Regards,
