Re: Mail source failed, wrong-type-argument integer-or-marker-p nil

Dear all

I moved nnmail.elc and el.gz and put condition-case-unless-debug into
nnmail.el.
Somehow debugger window did not open.

I found this line in *Messages"
>Processing mail from ~/.emacs-mail-crash-box...

Does it suggest email crashed, I forgot it, and some files (.newsrc,
.newsrc.eld, newsrc-dribble, and .gnus.registry.eieio) left collapsed?
