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
Entering debugger...

gnus-summary-read-group("comp.emacs.xemacs" nil nil nil nil)

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

The message says that the program `metamail' can't be found. Install
the Metamail package and make sure that the program `metamail' is on
your $PATH.

This must mean that you don't have "metamail" in your path.

Ah, okay, metamail is an external program. Sorry for my ignorance.
Cheers,
Colin
