I have gnus-save-killed-list set to nil. What MS> about you? What other candidates haven't we mentioned? Hi Matt, gnus-saved-killed-list is set to t for me, the default I presume. Is this the problem perhaps? This is all very interesting. To be honest I haven't understood (groked, in Kai-speak) the subtle differences between zombie, killed, and unsubscribed. It all seems a little needlessly complicated to me. Whats wrong with subscribing or unsubscribing? Does anyone actively use all this stuff? Is it of great use? I understand the need for levels, but to be honest I only use 1-3 for subscribed groups, 1 for personal mail, 2 for important lists/groups, and 3 for stuff I check daily or so.
