47 "Your `.newsrc' file.
48 `.newsrc-SERVER' will be used instead if that exists."
53 "Control use of version numbers for backups of `gnus-startup-file'.
54 This variable takes the same values as the `version-control'
55 variable."
63 "Whether to write the startup file contents to a buffer then save
64 the buffer or write directly to the file. The buffer is faster
65 because all of the contents are written at once. The direct write
66 uses considerably less memory."
73 "Your Gnus Emacs-Lisp startup file name.
74 If a file with the `.el' or `.elc' suffixes exists, it will be read instead."
84 "The site-wide Gnus Emacs-Lisp startup file name, or nil if none.
85 If a file with the `.el' or `.elc' suffixes exists, it will be read instead."
90 "List of newsgroups to subscribe, when a user runs Gnus the first time.
91 The value should be a list of strings.
92 If it is t, Gnus will not do anything special the first time it is
93 started; it'll just use the normal newsgroups subscription methods."
98 "*Non-nil means that Gnus will use a dribble file to store user updates.
99 If Emacs should crash without saving the .newsrc files, complete
100 information can be restored from the dribble file."
105 "*The directory where dribble files will be saved.
106 If this variable is nil, the directory where the .newsrc files are
107 saved will be used."
112 "*Non-nil means that Gnus will run `gnus-find-new-newsgroups' at startup.
113 This normally finds new newsgroups by comparing the active groups the
114 servers have already reported with those Gnus already knows, either alive
115 or killed.
117 When any of the following are true, `gnus-find-new-newsgroups' will instead
118 ask the servers (primary, secondary, and archive servers) to list new
119 groups since the last time it checked:
120 1. This variable is `ask-server'.
121 2. This variable is a list of select methods (see below).
122 3. `gnus-read-active-file' is nil or `some'.
123 4. A prefix argument is given to `gnus-find-new-newsgroups' interactively.
125 Thus, if this variable is `ask-server' or a list of select methods or
126 `gnus-read-active-file' is nil or `some', then the killed list is no
127 longer necessary, so you could safely set `gnus-save-killed-list' to nil.
129 This variable can be a list of select methods which Gnus will query with
130 the `ask-server' method in addition to the primary, secondary, and archive
131 servers.
133 Eg.
134 (setq gnus-check-new-newsgroups
137 If this variable is nil, then you have to tell Gnus explicitly to
149 "*Non-nil means that Gnus will check and remove bogus newsgroup at startup.
150 If this variable is nil, then you have to tell Gnus explicitly to
156 "*Non-nil means that Gnus will read the entire active file at startup.
157 If this variable is nil, Gnus will only know about the groups in your
158 `.newsrc' file.
160 If this variable is `some', Gnus will try to only read the relevant
161 parts of the active file from the server. Not all servers support
162 this, and it might be quite slow with other servers, but this should
163 generally be faster than both the t and nil value.
165 If you set this variable to nil or `some', you probably still want to
166 be told about new newsgroups that arrive. To do that, set
167 `gnus-check-new-newsgroups' to `ask-server'. This may not work
168 properly with all servers."
178 "Groups with levels less than or equal to this variable are unsubscribed.
180 Groups with levels less than `gnus-level-subscribed', which
181 should be less than this variable, are subscribed. Groups with
182 levels from `gnus-level-subscribed' (exclusive) upto this
183 variable (inclusive) are unsubscribed. See also
184 `gnus-level-zombie', `gnus-level-killed' and the Info node `(gnus)Group
194 "*New subscribed groups will be subscribed at this level."
199 "*New unsubscribed groups will be unsubscribed at this level."
204 "*Groups higher than this level won't be activated on startup.
205 Setting this variable to something low might save lots of time when
206 you have many groups that you aren't interested in."
211 "*If nil, Gnus will not check foreign newsgroups at startup.
212 If it is non-nil, it should be a number between one and nine. Foreign
213 newsgroups that have a level lower or equal to this number will be
214 activated on startup. For instance, if you want to active all
215 subscribed newsgroups, but not the rest, you'd set this variable to
216 `gnus-level-subscribed'.
218 If you subscribe to lots of newsgroups from different servers, startup
219 might take a while. By setting this variable to nil, you'll save time,
220 but you won't be told how many unread articles there are in the
221 groups."
227 "*Non-nil means that Gnus will read the `.newsrc' file.
228 Gnus always reads its own startup file, which is called
230 be readily understood by other newsreaders. If you don't plan on
231 using other newsreaders, set this variable to nil to save some time on
232 entry."
238 "*Non-nil means that Gnus will save the `.newsrc' file.
239 Gnus always saves its own startup file, which is called
241 be readily understood by other newsreaders. If you don't plan on
242 using other newsreaders, set this variable to nil to save some time on
243 exit."
248 "*If non-nil, save the list of killed groups to the startup file.
249 If you set this variable to nil, you'll save both time (when starting
250 and quitting) and space (both memory and disk), but it will also mean
251 that Gnus has no record of which groups are new and which are old, so
252 the automatic new newsgroups subscription methods become meaningless.
254 You should always set `gnus-check-new-newsgroups' to `ask-server' or
255 nil if you set this variable to nil.
257 This variable can also be a regexp. In that case, all groups that do
258 not match this regexp will be removed before saving the list."

275 Any lines in the active file matching this regular expression are
276 removed from the newsgroup list before anything else is done to it,
277 thus making them effectively non-existent."
282 "*Function(s) called with a group name when new group is detected.
283 A few pre-made functions are supplied: `gnus-subscribe-randomly'
284 inserts new groups at the beginning of the list of groups;
