Hello,

I'm rather new to Gnus, and I have a problem with metamail.
If I do, e.g 

M-x gnus-summary-toggle-mime

then I get (from Recent Messages): 

Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, nil

debug says:

     call-interactively(gnus-group-read-group)


I'm using XEmacs 19.16, Gnus v5.4.37; nntp 5.0; nnml 1.0, FWIW.
Metamail is v1.1, 1993/12/01

Can anyone help?

TIA,
   Colin
