I saw some discussions about the backup overview files being created when errors were detected, so I went and deleted *all* the overview files. The backup files were immediately being created.

Whatever it is, the problem happens very quickly. -wayne _______________________________________________ Info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
