  • gnus: Really use this possibly unknown group message?

    I'm getting the above message when in a group and typing 'a' to Send a Message. Newsgroups:
    name.of.newsgroup, is specified which is listed in the server summary. Is there any reason why the group
    would be unknown? How can I resolve this warning?

    I'm using news.eternal-september.org as my NNTP server, so not sure if
    it's specific to it.

    Maybe because you aren't subscribed to it.

    I meant maybe not subscribed to the group. If you go to the list of
    groups and press ^ you can see the list of servers. Select the eternal-september one and see the active news groups. Move to the one
    you want and press u.

    Trying u out. First item I noticed is group was subscribed to in
    summary buffer, but I lost eternal-september NNTP server in ^ list. I
    had to exit gnus and M-x gnus again to see eternal-september in ^ list.

    I'm subscribed now and press C-c C-c and still am seeing subject line
    warning message. Is there something else required for subscription?
