Subscribing to a foreign group from the local spool is extremely easy, and might be useful, for instance, to speed up reading groups that contain very big articles---`alt.binaries.pictures.furniture', for instance.
Anyway, you just specify nnspool
as the method and ""
(or
anything else) as the address.
If you have access to a local spool, you should probably use that as the
native select method (see section 1.1 Finding the News). It is normally faster
than using an nntp
select method, but might not be. It depends.
You just have to try to find out what's best at your site.
nnspool-inews-program
nnspool-inews-switches
nnspool-spool-directory
nnspool
looks for the articles. This is normally
`/usr/spool/news/'.
nnspool-nov-directory
nnspool
will look for NOV files. This is normally
nnspool-lib-dir
nnspool-active-file
nnspool-newsgroups-file
nnspool-history-file
nnspool-active-times-file
nnspool-nov-is-evil
nil
, nnspool
won't try to use any NOV files
that it finds.
nnspool-sift-nov-with-sed
nil
, which is the default, use sed
to get the
relevant portion from the overview file. If nil
,
nnspool
will load the entire file into a buffer and process it
there.
