Hello,
since today, i get the following error message when starting up Gnus
v5.5:
Error in ~/.gnus: (end-of-file #<INTERNAL EMACS BUG (decoding lstream)
0x0x8495000>)
(The number changes each time the error messages occurs.)
And that's all. After that, Gnus exits.
IIRC, i didnt change anything in my .gnus file since the last successful
startup of Gnus.
I am attaching my .gnus file to this post/mail.
This post goes also to the Gnus mailing list. But since i am currently
unable to read mails that go thru that list, please include kl@snafu.de
in your replies.
Thanks for any hint!
Bye, Kasi
PS: Since this lame Netscape did not want to let me select ".gnus" as
file to attach, i
copied it to "gnus".

eek, you're right! My guess went into the same direction, because i was not 100% sure i
didnt alter the .gnus file. And i knew that the only section which could be causing the
problem was the mailing list filtering part. But even after going thru it line by line i
did not find the error. Guess i should upper my terminal font size. :p
Thanks a lot for your help!!
Bye, Kasi
