You will be queried for a select method and a server name. Gnus will
then attempt to contact this server and let you browse the groups there
(gnus-group-browse-foreign-server
).
A new buffer with a list of available groups will appear. This buffer
will use the gnus-browse-mode
. This buffer looks a bit (well,
a lot) like a normal group buffer.
Here’s a list of keystrokes available in the browse mode:
Go to the next group (gnus-group-next-group
).
Go to the previous group (gnus-group-prev-group
).
Enter the current group and display the first article
(gnus-browse-read-group
).
Enter the current group (gnus-browse-select-group
).
Toggle subscription of the current group
(gnus-browse-toggle-subscription
). You
can affect the way the new group is entered into the Group buffer
using the variable gnus-browse-subscribe-newsgroup-method
. See
see Subscription Methods for available options.
Exit browse mode (gnus-browse-exit
).
Describe the current group (gnus-browse-describe-group
).
Describe browse mode briefly (well, there’s not much to describe, is
there) (gnus-browse-describe-briefly
).
This function will delete the current group
(gnus-browse-delete-group
). If given a prefix, this function
will actually delete all the articles in the group, and forcibly
remove the group itself from the face of the Earth. Use a prefix only
if you are absolutely sure of what you are doing.
