I type fast, but I don't proofread too good. :-)

Hmmm. That's peculiar. I have a *lot* of cruft in my config
files. Maybe something else is keeping it going for me. Hmmm...  Try
using

(add-hook 'nnmail-post-get-new-mail-hook  'gnus-filter-history)

instead. That actually seems to make more sense to me now than the old
way. I don't know how I missed that hook before. But if that's still
causing it to hang, please let me know. I'm updating the info in the
file (and on the web page.)
