My `gnus-nov-is-evil' is still nil, so that's not it. But there are only .overview files in my ~/Mail directory, not my ~/News directory, so there's an immediate explanation. Actually, there are no directories corresponding to my nntp newsgroups at all, so I'm not sure where those .overview files would go. I'm still in the process of downloading massive amounts of past mail, and that seems to be mucking with the whole system. I'm going to wait until I've got everything down and sorted, and restarted a few times, and then start worrying about it... E
