However, I always byte-compile everything, and in the case of this problem, my gnus was also byte-compiled properly. It turns out that the problem has something to do with changing my `load-path' to contain an entry that points to a newly downloaded (from cvs) version of gnus that has indeed been byte-compiled, instead of using the original `load-path' entry which points to the directory path for the gnus version I had previously been using. It appears that now there is something in my normal `load-path' that gnus needs, and when the version pointed to by the altered `load-path' is run, this `nndrafts:drafts' problem occurs. If I install the latest version into my normal load path, the problem goes away. I have been using this same method of switching `load-path' entries to test downloads of gnus for the better part of a year, and this `nndrafts:drafts' problem hadn't occurred at all until recently. Once I stumbled upon this connection to `load-path', however, I stopped looking for the real cause of the problem, since it only seems to occur when testing. Thanks for your suggestion, however. Any ideas about how a `load-path' change could affect the ability for gnus to recognize the `nndrafts:drafts' folder? ... especially given that the only path component I change is the one which points to gnus directory tree, which contains nothing at all but the byte-compiled gnus release ... ??? -- Lloyd Zusman ljz@asfast.com
