The way this bug shows up is that all article counts for nntp groups have '*'s instead of numbers. This is because your server doesn't support `LIST ACTIVE group' and Gnus doesn't know it. You can bypass the buggy check by putting: (setq nntp-server-list-active-group nil) in your .gnus. -- steve@miranova.com baur Unsolicited commercial e-mail will be billed at $250/message. What are the last two letters of "doesn't" and "can't"? Coincidence? I think not.
