But nothing ever happens. In a sepratate terminal window I say ls /tmp/mm*, but there are no files of that pattern. So then I try to save the part locally, am prompted for a location and save the file. Great! The file is created. Except that when I go to open it, I find that it is empty, i.e. 0 bytes. I have no clue how to start debugging this. What infomation shouldl I provide to anyone who would like to help me? My whole .emacs and/or .gnus.el? Ma Gnus v0.17, Emacs 24.3.50.1 on Fedora 19. Is any other information relevant? Thanks, John
