It seems to be solved now:
whan you send the message, instead of `C-c C-c' do: `C-u 0 C-c C-c':
Gnus will prompt you for a gnus-post-method. Type `news.gnus.org',
or whatever the server you use to read the gnu.emacs.gnus newsgroup,
and the message will correctly be sent.
I did so, and it worked.
I want now to summarize the whole matter: please correct if something's wrong.
-------------------------------------------------------------
How to fetch old messages and in case continue them with gnus
-------------------------------------------------------------
1) If you don't have it, install a cvs version of Emacs and a cvs version
of Gnus; if you already have them, update them both;
I also tried to install the W3 and url packages, although I don't
know if it's really necessary (I will check);
2) put in your ~/.gnus.el the following stuff:
(setq gnus-refer-article-method
'(current
(nnweb "google"
(nnweb-type google))))
3) first, search for the article you're looking for the usual way, i.e.
doing `M-^ <message-ID>' in the gnu.emacs.gnus summary buffer;
if it has been canceled from the group, gnus will not find it:
then, from the group buffer do: `G w RET <search string> RET',
where 'search string' might be the article's subject, or its ID,
or anything else able to find it: if it's in the google groups archives
gnus will then find and display it;
4) with `B c' on the message, copy it into a new group (say it
`interesting-messages')
you had already created doing `G m' in the group buffer;
5) if all you wanted was to store the article, you've done;
if you want to reply to it, first open up your server;
then go to article you've stored and hit `S N'; when you send you reply
to gnu.emacs.gnus,
instead of `C-c C-c' do: `C-u 0 C-c C-c': Gnus will prompt you for a
gnus-post-method.
Type `news.gnus.org', or whatever the server you use to read the
gnu.emacs.gnus
newsgroup will be, and the message will correctly be sent.
. Cheers,
Rodolfo
