Whatever was happening was transitory, as I thought - the error did look as if it was just a badly-formed message causing it. It looks like either the message was fixed or it's not in the feed any more. In any case the error has gone. I can't recall the exact error message but it implied an incorrectly formed date. This is why not having some sort of ability to skip over errors in a group is quite frustrating - I don't always have time to get into debugging or asking questions about a particular bug but a simple message error can lock me out from the whole app - not very resilient. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
