Couldn't request group nndraft:drafts:

[Dmitry Yaitskov]

Hi,

Subj... How can I bring it back to life? I do have the drafts
directory, and there's even a saved message there. But entering the
drafts group fails.

I have:

        nndraft-current-directory
        Value: "/d/dima/News/drafts/drafts/"

        nndraft-directory
        Value: "~/News/drafts/"

A message is in /d/dima/News/drafts/drafts/, but copying it to
/d/dima/News/drafts/ doesn't work either. And yes, 
(expand-file-name nndraft-directory) yields "/d/dima/News/drafts/".

Thanks.

Does it help to kill (C-k) or delete (G DEL) the group, to quit Gnus,
and to start Gnus again, to make it reappear?

The setting is right, and draft messages go to
/d/dima/News/drafts/drafts/ instead of /d/dima/News/drafts/.

You should check parameters of nndraft:drafts by typing `G E' on the
group. It should look like the follows.

("nndraft:drafts" 1 nil nil
 (nndraft "")
 ((gnus-dummy
   (gnus-draft-mode))))

That's what I got:

("nndraft:drafts" 3 nil nil
 (nndraft "")
 ((gnus-dummy
   (gnus-draft-mode))))

Which is exactly the same (save for the level). Still, no luck.

Killing didn't help (matter of fact, I did try that before I think). I
got a bit different messages immediately after a gnus start:

Retrieving newsgroup: nndraft:drafts...
Opened server  using directory ~/News/drafts/
Couldn't request group nndraft:drafts: Opened server  using directory ~/News/drafts/

The result is the same though - can't enter it...

I ran into exactly this problem. Is your gnus directory byte compiled?

BrYan,

Thanks! That did it. Strangely enough, only about half of the .el
files in lisp/ were byte-compiled (although I *think* I did "make"
gnus after every update). After a make in lisp/ it works... I wonder
though - is this a bug or a feature? ;^)

Thanks again.
