So far it works fine for me for news.gmane.io and news.aioe.org: *: nntp+news.aioe.org:ak.test Messages with the beta-nature. *: nntp+news.aioe.org:akr.biz Advertisements for Akron area businesses. *: nntp+news.aioe.org:akr.freenet Discussion about the Akron Regional Free-Net. *: nntp+news.aioe.org:akr.internet Internet access in the Akron, Ohio, area. *: nntp+news.aioe.org:akr.jobs announcements and discussion of jobs in the Akron area. news.mozilla.org simply seems to not provide group descriptions at all. Remind me of the version of Emacs/Gnus you're using? _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
