I have this in my .gnus.el:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq gnus-select-method
'(nntp "news.gmane.org"
(nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-tls-stream)
(nntp-port-number 563)
;; (nntp-port-number 119)
(nnir-search-engine gmane)
))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and that works now, but did not work for a while earlier in the month
(or perhaps longer). IIUC what you said, port 119 with some other
setting (nntp-open-network-stream perhaps, or nntp-open-plain-stream)
for the connection function would have worked during this time? I'll
have to remember that for next time...
Thanks!
