When executing your snipped (which worked), the requests go to 64.233.167.99, which is a google server. If I click a message-id, the tcpdump records only packets with destination "sea.gmane.org.nntp", so google never seems to be asked. My config is as follows: (setq gnus-refer-article-method '(current (nntp "newshost.uni-koblenz.de") (nntp "news.gmane.org") (nnweb "gmane" (nnweb-type gmane)) (nnweb "google" (nnweb-type google)))) That's the way I'd like it to work: First try to lookup the article in the local agent cache, if that fails try the nntp-servers of my university and gmane, and if that fails, too, try to get it from gmane or google. But as I said: When I press RET on this example message-id in this thread, tcpdump records only packets with destination "sea.gmane.org.nntp". As the current thread is in a gmane group, it seems to correspond to the "current" refer method, I'd say. The message-id corresponds to an article on de.comp.hardware.laufwerke.festplatten, so gmane is the wrong partner here. But why doesn't it try to get it at the other alternatives? Kind regards, Tassilo -- 98% of us Americans are hard-working people. It's the other 2% that give us a bad reputation. Then again, we did elect them. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
