Documentation

Non-nil means that Gnus will read the .newsrc file.

Gnus always reads its own startup file, which is called
".newsrc.eld". The file called ".newsrc" is in a format that can
be readily understood by other newsreaders. If you don't plan on using other newsreaders, set this variable to nil to save some time on entry.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 21.1.
