Hi,

when i'm trying to receive new mail, gnus produces an error message
when it tries to extract mail from my mailbox (/var/mail/vvv):

Mail source error ((error Format specifier doesn't match argument type)).  Continie? (yes or no)

if the mailbox is empty, no error occurs; otherwise the above error is
displayed.

could you please help?

Best,
v.
