Have you set gnus-summary-line-format to anything unusual? Cheers, Loris -- This signature is currently under construction.
Re: [O] [OT] nobody (none)
This would appear to be gnus specific. I use mu4e and have not noticed anything along these lines. Suggest a gnus specific list might be the go.

[O] [OT] nobody (none)
Hello, An off topic problem. I'm asking here because I noticed this problem first in this list, but it has spread. I read e-mail using gnus (v5.13) in emacs (25.3.1) on FreeBSD (10.3). Some months ago I noticed some messages in this list displaying with sender 'nobody' and subject '(none)' in gnus. As the months have passed the number of such messages has increased many-fold and spread to other lists. On opening the offending e-mail it is usual that the message has both sender and subject fields with plausible contents. Often, but not exclusively, the 'nobody' messages originate from gmail accounts. I have not changed any settings at my end so I assume some commonly used component of the chain of email applications has changed settings and that I need to respond to that change. But where? and what? Any hints on where to look would be most helpful. Again, sorry for the OT message. Roger
