How can I diagnose it further, or fix it?
In a brute-force search to try to eliminate the cause of this, I've found that the above behaviour is unaffected by any of the following actions: * removing ‘~/.newsrc’ and ‘~/.newsrc.eld’ * removing ‘~/.gnus’ * removing ‘~/.emacs’ and ‘~/.emacs.d/’ The next action *did* affect the behaviour: * removing ‘~/News/’ Now when I read the ‘comp.lang.python’ group I can get any article body. I'll continue to hunt for which specific file within that directory is causing the problem, but I would appreciate some guidance as to what might be the cause. -- \ “The cost of education is trivial compared to the cost of | `\ ignorance.” —Thomas Jefferson | _o__) | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
