[*] once and just once, after removing those files gnus showed me the right content of inbox, but i cannot reproduce this. thanks, pietro --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBBMJJVUUzd1irJPYYRAjlLAKCMabwfQ4UPW7Nt4cxZI2rsZ4TlcQCeJzxC kijrB/VETxSsk4QGffqQvOM= =39d5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
