- I'm getting a bit fed up of this "bug" which seem to appear in all versions of gnus.
- FSF 19 has a hack which allows you to get round it but really there is a better way.
- Basically if you specify gnus-nntp-service as nil then gnus still looks for a nntp
- server and prompts you for one if gnus-nntp-server is nil. If you then reply with
- a null string it uses the local host. Really it should get things right automatically.
- Here is a fix which cures this.
