(Or the summary buffer if you were in the article buffer.) After a few false starts (I though the problem was that we were killing off the HTTP working buffer in Gnus instead of letting the URL library do it instead), it was instead a bug in url-http.el itself, where it would call (point-max) unconditionally in a possibly "killed buffer"; i.e., a random buffer. I've now fixed this bug, but, of course, point will still pop around weirdly for people using older Emacs versions. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
