I don't quite understand the 'from fencepost.gnu.org' but maybe (untested) something like this in .gnus.el will work ? (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "gnu" (nntp-address "whatever.gnu.org"))) I don't know - but googling for examples of use of gnus-select-method and nntp might get you a little way. Yes, the manual's pretty abysmal for learning from - I had to read the thing a few times and take notes. But, hey, you get what you pay for. -- Mark
