Examining .agentview after starting gnus and getting new news there is no change in the file, except for the addition of several new entries below the old ones. Out of curiosity, am I likely to experience any kind of corruption or odd behaviour due to this? Or is it entirely safe? > 2) There's no cause to find.

Well, I agree that this would be hard to find; I looked in the lisp manual for variables controlling the lisp printer for likely culprits but found nothing that could explain this failure mode. Nevertheless, things like this don't happen by themselves. But I suppose the problem could be deep in emacs somewhere, far beneath gnus. -- Gaute Strokkenes http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~gs234/ I always liked FLAG DAY!!
