(I autoload /usr/sipb/lib/elisp/gnus.)
I normally read news with gnus, and I noticed that not all of the
newsgroups were in my .newsrc after I quit. So, I figured the easiest
thing to do was to rm my .newsrc, and have gnus recreate it from
scratch. The next time I read news, my entire .newsrc consisted of:
<45> deathtongue:~> cat .newsrc
alt.fan.mike-jittlov: 1-722
comp.lang.perl: 1-10982
news.answers: 1-1055,1244,1367
Not coincidentally, I think, the only groups I read were a.f.m-j, and
c.l.p. The FAQ in c.l.p was crossposted to news.answers, and I
imagine that's what caused that newsgroup to be there.
So, where is the rest of my .newsrc? If I use rn at some point, my
.newsrc will be newer than my .newsrc.el, and my .newsrc.el will get
badly hosed next time I run gnus.
Please fix my problems in the next release :-)
Marc
