I've been using a three-or-four-week-old CVS release of Gnus 5.8.8,
and recently I decided to bring myself up to date with the latest CVS
release.  But once I installed it, all of the sudden, my
"nndraft:drafts" group ceased to work.

With the new CVS version, my "nndraft:drafts" group shows up with an
asterisk at its left and I cannot access it.  I cannot see any drafts
that go into that group.

However, if I revert back to my older Gnus 5.8.8, my "nndraft:drafts"
group works again.  Also, if I use the latest CVS version to create
drafts, I can then exit Gnus and restart the three-or-four-week-old
version, and I then see my drafts in "nndraft:drafts".  But if I don't
exit the newest version, the drafts I create don't appear and the
"nndraft:drafts" group remains inaccessible with the asterisk next to
it.

I didn't change anything at all about my configuration.  The only
change I make is to switch between the newest CVS version and my
three-to-four-week-old version.

The only drafts-related variable that I have set within my `gnus.el'
file is ...

  (setq nndraft-directory "~/News/drafts/")
 
... and this variable has been set literally for years and has caused
no problems for me during that time.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
