• [GRAVITY] Multiple news servers

    I've now added the captive Mozilla server. As far as I can see, with
    Gravity I have to deal with servers one at a time. Is there any way
    that I'm missing to have both servers open at once, since there's no
    overlap in newsgroups?

    While I don't have the up to date current version of the Gravity
    program, I can say that Gravity functions on a one server at a time
    basis. I've never found this to be a problem, but it is somewhat clumsy
    as compared with newsreaders with a more modern approach.

    As I understand things: the vcr tool within Gravity allows for
    automatic connection to different newsgroups and retrieval of articles
    as per the criteria you set for each server. I don't think that this
    is quite what you want, and I have never really experimented with it
    to see how effective it might be. At tghe very least, it should
    prevent you from having to manulaly exit one server and conect to
    another.
