The manual distributed with XEmacs doesn't mention rss, but googling for 'gnus rss' turns up . The manual on that web page claims to be for Gnus 5.10.2; frankly, I'm dubious about that. So: * Should I expect to be able to use nnrss with 5.10.6? (And what Gnus version is the online manual for?) Anyways, optimistically following the instructions listed on that web page, I type 'B', then nnrss, then enter http://slashdot.org/slashdot.rss. It asks me if I want to download extra categories. If I answer 'n', I get an empty buffer. If I answer 'y', I get a buffer looking like this: K 0: Business: general.CRM news K 0: Business: general.Entrepreneur news K 0: Business: general.Human resources news K 0: Business: general.IP and patents news K 0: Business: general.Job markets news K 0: Business: general.Law news ... Which isn't very useful. Am I doing something wrong, does nnrss just not work with the version of Gnus I'm using, or what? Thanks, David Carlton carlton@bactrian.org
