I have recently made a couple of attempts to post a query on
gnu.emacs.gnus, but it seems my Gnus no longer can read it or post to
it.

FWIW, here is the query:

I use Gnus 5.13 under Emacs 24.3 under Cygwin 1.5.25 under Windows XP.

In my routines for reading email (at Verizon) when I do not want to
read newsgroups (at eternal-september), I have been calling
(gnus-no-server) without trouble until recently.  Then (after weeding
out some old nnfolder+archive:sent. directories), I found that
(gnus-no-server) no longer allowed me to read mail.  It brought up
Gnus and allowed me to send mail, but gave the usual no-news message
even when I in fact had mail.  M-x gnus, however, brought up incoming
mail (as well as newsgroups), as usual.

On investigating with L in the *Group* buffer, I found that I had
somehow unsubscribed to nnml:mail.misc.  Resubscribing to it restored
service under (gnus-no-server) once, but thereafter it failed again,
tho I was still subscribed.

What have I done wrong?
