No, can't be quite that. When I press ^, the appropriate summary line with subject, author, number of lines actually appears, but it flashes yellow, gets marked with "G" and I get an "article was canceled or expired" message. Can anybody put a finger on what combination of circumstances would trigger such a behavior? I am somewhat at a loss of where to look for the problem, and what exactly to report the provider of news. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
