After that, gnus didn't work any more: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- error: Error, unknown mail format! (Possibly corrupted buffer ` *nnmail incoming*'.) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I suppose, the reason for this incident, is wrong mail-locking!? /var/mail/peter is written by postfix->procmail. What could I do, to make sure, that such collisions don't happen? TIA for any help! -- Peter
