Yes there's bbdb-yank, but it won't help here. So one must recover from disk before hitting save. But that means throwing away all other changes before the mistake. So some sort of undo, or gnus-like C-k runs the command gnus-group-kill-group Kill the next N groups. The killed newsgroups can be yanked by using C-y. is needed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ bbdb-info@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bbdb-info BBDB Home Page: http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/
