My drafts group has disappeared

My drafts group has disappeared

[Dan Davison]

My drafts group has disappeared and I don't know how to get it back. The
value of nndraft-directory is "~/News/drafts/" and indeed
~/News/drafts/drafts contains my drafts (an empty dir
~/News/drafts/queue also exists).

My server buffer looks like this

     {nnfolder:archive} (opened)
     {nnmairix:mairix} (opened)
     {nntp:news.gmane.org} (opened)
     {nnimap:dc} (opened) (agent)

I don't know what nnfolder is and it seems to be empty. How do I get the
contents of ~/News/drafts/drafts served to me as a gnus group and
behaving as a drafts group should?

Thanks very much,

Dan

Ted!

I have seen this reply while searching about something, after
that I have joined Eternal-September.

I wanted to know that for this group gnu.emacs.gnus googlegroup
have 22500 article, here in eternal-september number of article in the
group is ~350.

Could little explain there is some partial synchronization between
googlegroup and eternal-september server.
Or simply you have posted in two different group.

I am failing to follow this discussion. Would someone mind explaining
how to use gnus to subscribe to the main gnus mailing list(s) in such
a way that one receives all the messages rather than a subset?

At the moment I have

      16: nntp+news.gmane.org:gmane.emacs.gnus.user(m)
      42: nntp+news.gmane.org:gmane.emacs.gnus.general(m)

and these channels only seem to receive  a fraction of the gnus user
help traffic that internet searches reveal.

Ted,

Thanks very much. It seems that was the command I was missing.
