Afer closing gnus and emacs, I reaimed gnus at the appropriate directory of lisp files. From gnus_04 to old gnus_03 installation. Then removed all .marks and .overview files under ~/Mail. Started gnus, who came up as the new (old) version, then ran M-x nnml-generate-nov-databases. Only after that completed did I try to open a group. Gnus won't let me and throws an error that may be a clue about my earlier troubles too. Backtrace below, can someone see what the trouble is? `gnus-correct-length' appears only in ~/.newsrc.eld. Is not found in any of the *.el files under my gnus_03 tree. In fact it appears in /usr/local/gnus_04/lisp/gnus-spec.el, from my gnus current cvs directory. So this is code added since gnus_03 and might possibly be the source of my troubles. How can I back up gracefully to a gnus that didn't use this code. Can I simply remove the section from .newsrc.eld that contains gnus-correct-length? ======================================== Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function gnus-correct-length) (gnus-correct-length val) (> (gnus-correct-length val) 20) (if (> (gnus-correct-length val) 20) (gnus-correct-substring val 0 20) val) (let ((val ...))
