Thanks. That's a good hint. I could reproduce the same error using the following test: ;--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (setq gnus-group-line-format "%M%S %P %6y/%-6t: %(%-40,40G%) %10n:%-10s\n") (gnus-update-format-specifications t 'group) (let ((gnus-select-method '(nnml "" (nnml-directory "~/Mesg/NNML/") (nnml-active-file "~/Mesg/NNML/active") (nnml-newsgroups-file "~/Mesg/NNML/newsgroups"))) (gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nndraft "" (nndraft-directory "~/Mesg/Drafts")) (nntp "news.rice.edu")))) (gnus-group-insert-group-line "nntp+news.rice.edu:rice.majors.cs" 3 '((reply 932) (tick 932 963)) 61 "nntp:news.rice.edu")) ;--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- That's a bug which will arise with recent Gnus. However, people have not noticed it because it arises only when the `%n' spec is used with XEmacs. I will fix it in the CVS repository later. Put the following lines in your ~/.gnus.el file and you will be able to use the format including the `%10n' spec without needing to reinstall Gnus.
