After a fresh CVS checkout I don't get the error related to `nntp-marks-file-name' being nil anymore. I noticed a message in the echo area upon leaving a group in unplugged state with e.g. `q': Added to /home/angeli/News/agent/nntp/news.gmane.org/agent.lib/flags While there are no errors anymore, the marks are forgotten again. Tested this by starting Emacs/Gnus in plugged state, downloading new articles into the agent with `J s', switching to unplugged state with `J j', reading the articles, shutting down Gnus in unplugged state with `q y' and restarting Emacs and Gnus in plugged state. -- Ralf
