The value stems from this stanza: (setq result (apply 'call-process (append (list (or mail-source-movemail-program (expand-file-name "movemail" exec-directory)) nil errors nil from to))))) According to the docstring for call-process and the elisp manual, if the subprocess dies because of a signal, then call-process may return a string describing it. mail-source-movemail has code to handle this, but it appear to be broken. (I also find it worrying that movemail has started dying on me, but that is unlikely to be a gnus bug...) -- Gaute Strokkenes http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~gs234/ I'm not an Iranian!!
