I'm on the latest gnus so it may have had more to do with your server or something.

How does that work? You mean a function inside gnus or emacs or something external? > I am using Ma Gnus 0.14 (because I can't figure out where to get 0.16; > it's very unclear just what branch is present in the emacs git repo on > savannah). I can tell you one thing and may have the exact dates wrong but probably pretty close. There is no longer a separate gnus developement. Gnus is being developed inside emacs now. I think it started like that about the release of emacs-25. At any rate if you want the latest gnus these days you have to get the latest emacs: http://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=emacs That page has instructions for getting the sources of developement emacs from git. It will have the very latest gnus ... or so it was posted here a while back.
