marks not being saved

marks not being saved

[myglc2]

My marks are not begin saved. 

Here is what happens:

1) I tick '!' article A in a gmane summary buffer

2) I go to the Group Buffer and save 's'

3) I exit and reopen emacs

4) There is no tick '!' on article A. I assume there should be, right?

Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong?

TIA - George

 Gnus v5.13

Do you use 'q' to exit the *Summary*?

It turns out that I have this in my gnus.el ...

;; no need to update .newsrc since my only NEWSreader is gnus
(setq gnus-save-newsrc-file nil)

... which I must have found on the web somewhere. I removed and marks
are saved. So... case of google fever + operator error.

Thanks, - George

Yeah, putting random stuff in the configuratoin without it is dangerous
:-)

Glad you found it.

Re: marks not being saved

Why don't my marks get saved?

If I do this :

1) open '=' a group

2) "tick" '!' an article in the '*Summary...' buffer

3) kill 'C-x k' the '*Summary...' buffer

4) open '=' the same group again

I don't see the "tick" '!' I just made. Shouldn't I?

Or is there some other step I need save my "ticks"?

TIA - george

This is the step that makes it not work. Try using q to save the marks,
exit the *Summary*, and go back to the *Group*.
