The next time I launch Gnus I may see a prompt like: Auto save file is newer; use it y/n ? If I see this in the newsgroups buffer I can actually select the autosave file, and typically the autosave file is current up to the second to last group I read. However, sometimes I see after leaving the newsgroups buffer and before entering the summary buffer a message: Auto save file is newer; consider M-x recover-file and there is no way to back out and M-x recover-file short of opening another shell and killing Gnus. So the bug is that an option (M-x recover-file) is presented which is unselectable as and where it's presented. (in between newsgroups and summary buffer). How to recreate the bug: Do s for save in newsgroups buffer. In the newsgroups buffer, select a group and many articles from that group[1] eg select 50,000 articles from control, and have a killfile (not scorefile) that kills on a low priority header, eg keyword. This should take a few hours and gives the autosave timer a good chance to save something and gives the modem a good chance to drop the line. After the session is lost, open a new session, and select the group that you selected in [1], and choose many articles. David W.
