I didn't try it before now... But there are so many options...

Ok, thanks.

Final problem I think: Gnus stopped working now... I get something like 
this in the messages buffer:

. . . . . .
Aquamacs under the GNU General Public License. Type C-h C-c to view.
The mark is not set now, so there is no region
Loading gnus...done
Loading gnus-start...done
Loading gnus-agent...done
gnus-group-quit: Wrong type argument: symbolp, (nntp "192.168.1.100")

I don't understand that because it worked earlier today with 
192.168.1.100 (that's my news-server). What I did was to insert 
something in my ~/.emacs file which I found on google, but after this 
message appeared I deleted it again and now gnus won't start.

Well, the *Groups* buffer starts, but it's empty. And the gnus-menu bar 
isn't there... Really annoying... How do I reset everything (delete all 
the data that gnus has made) ?
