How come? David: > You may be getting into trouble if gnus-newsgroup-name > isn't set properly If I do 'C-h v' for it, it says: gnus-newsgroup-name is a variable defined in `gnus.el'. Its value is "" Local in buffer *mail*; global value is nil Documentation: Not documented as a variable. David: > You could also just type C-x C-e in the article > buffer, actually, if you wanted to check > nntp+news.example.com:gnu.emacs.gnus. I put in my .gnus.el the following: (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.example.com")) , but when I start gnus I get the error message: Unable to open nntp:news.example.com, go offlline? (y or n) .
