Can anyone explain to me in plain, simple english, what I need to do to get knews to only subscribe to the 5 news groups I've subscribed to? It ignores $NNTPSERVER, so I need to manually connect to my ISPs news server everytime I start it, and it always tries to read every group. I looked at the config file, but it just doesn't light up any bulbs in my head. My local environment sets Knews.nntpServer in .xresources (and xrdb -query dumps it, so its being set correctly), but it doesn't seem to matter. My config is set up in .knews/config-myserver. If I set Knews.nntpServer globally, it finds the right server, but that sucks. In any case, it always reads every group.
How can I tell it to only read the groups I selected? I have checkForNewGroups set to false, but I have no idea what settings to choose to get it straitened out. Everytime I change something and restart to check it, it goes into never never land checking everything under the sun. I can't afford to keep mucking around with it this way. Any pointers would be welcome.
