Thanks; I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one with this issue. Is this a bug, or part of the specification of GNU Emacs 23.3.1? I scoured the Internet for a way to add three NNTP servers in my ~/.gnus.el file, but came up with nothing specific. > Anyway, you can also subscribe to groups by hitting RET on that server > in the *Server* buffer.

At least now I have the necessary functionality in Emacs (for the time being at least); however, it would still be helpful to know whether I should file a bug report about the inability of the M-x gnus-group-describe-all-groups RET command being unable to list the gnus.gnus-bug newsgroup, even with the (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nntp "news.gnus.org")) command listed in my ~/.gnus.el file. -- Benjamin L.
