I didn't change anything in my .gnus file. Actually I don't even think I 
have a .gnus-file, since nothing showed up when I did this:

Apple:~ mac$ cd
Apple:~ mac$ find . -name ".gnus"

I only changed something in my .emacs-file. And then I changed it back 
after gnus stopped working... The whole .emacs is here:

- - - - -

(put 'dired-find-alternate-file 'disabled nil)


     (setq TeX-auto-save t)
     (setq TeX-parse-self t)
     (setq-default TeX-master nil)
  (add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook #'LaTeX-install-toolbar)

(cd "~/Desktop")

(setq gnus-select-method '((nntp "192.168.1.100")))

- - - - - -

I can't remember what I had there before... Something about 
identity-information I think... And my smtp-server + signature, AFAIR.

Server 192.168.1.100 is because I'm running leafnode for getting 
news-messages.

Ok, I'll try to do that then. But customize has so many options, that I 
get confused and don't know where to look :-(
