Interesting, I didn't know that.

Did you put quotes in explicitly when entering the server name? You
should see the double quotes in the customization interface.

When you enter the server name at the prompt, it's automatically treated
as a string and quoted.

You'll be best off using the in-Emacs info browser: "C-h i", and then
"m" and "Gnus". That way you'll know that the manual you're reading
