I turned on logging with (setq nntp-record-commands t) and saw that with "g" gnus was sending a series of LIST ACTIVE commands, whereas with M-g it was sending a GROUP command. For some reason, my server gives different latest article numbers for these two commands: 281 News.GigaNews.Com GROUP gnu.emacs.gnus 211 13382 66502 79883 gnu.emacs.gnus LIST ACTIVE gnu.emacs.gnus 215 newsgroups follow gnu.emacs.gnus 0000079882 0000066502 y . Am I interpreting this correctly, and if so is this a normal thing for a server to do? The reponse to GROUP seems to be more up-to-date, and sinne I only subscribe to a few groups, I tried (setq gnus-read-active-file nil) to never use LIST ACTIVE. This didn't seem to work (I still see LIST ACTIVE commands in my *nntp-log* buffer). Any suggestions to always use GROUP or otherwise work around this quirk? Thanks! ----Scott.
