The news server (textnews.news.cambrium.nl) that is set as my primary select method (i.e. in gnus-select-method) seems to have disappeared.
[It's not a terrible loss. I have other news servers in my secondary select methods that I've been using more and more. One day I would like to find a good comprehensive reliable news server that I can use for both reading and writing, but after years of looking I despair of ever finding such a beast.] With the server not available, Gnus takes a _very_ long time to start. (The manual describes some of the convolutions it goes through to find an alternative news source.) I tried starting Gnus with `gnus-no-server' but this also disables the servers for my secondary select methods. I'm wondering if I can safely set gnus-select-method to null or nil or something to have Gnus just use my secondary select methods? If so what would be the syntax? Something like this: (setq gnus-select-method nil) Thanks for any advice anyone can provide. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
