Hi all,
I've started playing with gnus. I have the following .gnus.el:
;; Initial select method.
;; gnus-nntp-server overrides gnus-select-method so we don't want it.
(setq gnus-nntp-server nil)
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.netvisao.pt"))
;; We do not wish to read what Lars want us to read so:
(setq gnus-default-subscribed-newsgroups nil)
;; This variable just tells us we want Gnus to check new groups on start
;; up when querying server.
(setq gnus-check-new-newsgroups 'ask-server)
;; Delete the list of killed servers...
(setq gnus-save-killed-list nil)
;; This variable tells GNus what to do when there are new groups
(setq gnus-newsgroup-method #'gnus-subscribe-zombies)
;;We don't want to use any news readers so let's
;; ask gnus to ignore .newsrc files.
(setq gnus-save-newsrc-file nil)
(setq gnus-read-newsrc-file nil)
;; Let's ask gnus to backup startup file
(setq gnus-backup-startup-file t)
When it starts it says that it's reading active file from news.netvisao.pt
vvia nntp, however, not even a byte gets in the computer. It seems that it
is not asking for any file.
If I get into news.netvisao.pt using telnet and ask for the active file:
telnet news.netvisao.pt 119
list active
I get a huge listing of newsgroups. After some minutes gnus starts. How
can I know what has he done in the meantime since it seems he didn't get
any active file?
Cheers,
