gnus: Creating a Virtual Server

 
 6.1.4 Creating a Virtual Server
 -------------------------------
 
 If you’re saving lots of articles in the cache by using persistent
 articles, you may want to create a virtual server to read the cache.
 
    First you need to add a new server.  The ‘a’ command does that.  It
 would probably be best to use ‘nnml’ to read the cache.  You could also
 use ‘nnspool’ or ‘nnmh’, though.
 
    Type ‘a nnml RET cache RET’.
 
    You should now have a brand new ‘nnml’ virtual server called ‘cache’.
 You now need to edit it to have the right definitions.  Type ‘e’ to edit
 the server.  You’ll be entered into a buffer that will contain the
 following:
 
      (nnml "cache")
 
    Change that to:
 
      (nnml "cache"
               (nnml-directory "~/News/cache/")
               (nnml-active-file "~/News/cache/active"))
 
    Type ‘C-c C-c’ to return to the server buffer.  If you now press
 ‘RET’ over this virtual server, you should be entered into a browse
 buffer, and you should be able to enter any of the groups displayed.
