Subject: Gnus fails to show some email messages
Date: 26 Mar 1998 13:53:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <kigd8f9txy4.fsf@jagor.srce.hr> (raw)
Gnus v5.6.2; nntp 5.0; nnml 1.0; nnmh 1.0; nndraft 1.0; nnfolder 1.0
XEmacs 21.0 "Myotonic" [Lucid] (sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1) of Mon Mar 23 1998 on jagor.srce.hr
200 CARNet.hr InterNetNews NNRP server INN 1.4unoff4 05-Mar-96 ready (posting ok).
I have noticed a bug in Gnus: it fails to show some email messages.
That is the second most serious bug a mail reader can exhibit (the
first most serious bug is to delete or corrupt the message without
showing it). For instance, ~/Mail/xemacs.beta/20087 is present on
disk. It is currently the last message in the `xemacs.beta' group,
and its NOV entry looks like this:
20087 Re: [PATCH MS-Windows] Major display glitches assault "Kirill M. Katsnelson" <kkm@kis.ru> Thu, 26 Mar 1998 15:21:48 +0300 <3.0.5.32.19980326152148.00a9cd60@kis.ru> <3.0.5.32.19980322183244.00a82180@kis.ru> <Your message of "Fri, 20 Mar 1998 14:41:33 PST." <002201bd5451$5595b280$4432a8c0@Raj_D.squaresoft.com> <199803202354.AA217888095@mina.sr.hp.com> <3.0.5.32.19980322183244.00a82180@kis.ru> 8954 163 Xref: jagor.srce.hr xemacs.beta:20087
The `xemacs.beta' information in `.newsrc.eld' looks like this:
("nnml:xemacs.beta" 2 ((1 . 20087)) ((reply 19020 19053 (19065 . 19066) 19077 19082 19089 19124 19130 19139 19148 (19159 . 19160) 19166 (19172 . 19173) 19179 19181 19189 19195 19198 19202 19235 19238 19258 19264 19271 19275 (19283 . 19284) 19294 19303 19316 19322 19327 19330 19350 19410 19452 19483 19485 19488 19492 19561 19568 19588 19606 19612 19624 19634 19654 19662 19701 19703 19705 19739 19751 19776 19786 19792 19800 (19807 . 19808) 19814 19822 19825 19853 19857 19862 19867 19924 19943 19965 19974 19980 20005 20031 20044)) (nnml "") ((to-address . "XEmacs Developers <xemacs-beta@xemacs.org>") (total-expire . t) (expiry-wait . 14)))
However, that message is not shown when I enter the group with `RET',
`C-u RET', `1 RET' or anything else. When I press `1 RET', Gnus tries
to enter the group, but apparently gives up, because it just runs the
expiry process and switches me back to Group buffer. Typing `2 RET'
generates the summary buffer with only one message, the second-to-last
one.
When I enter the group with `C-u RET', typing `j TAB' does not offer
20087 as a choice. Typing `j 20087 RET' ends up in an apparently
infite loop, debug-on-quit giving the backtrace appended below.
I have noticed this happening since some time into Quassia, and it's
very serious. It happens on some messages, and not on others. I have
no clue how to debug it, and I may be forced to downgrade to Gnus 5.5
because of this bug.
If it happens to anyone else, I'd like to know about it.
The C-g backtrace follows:
