OK, I call debug-on-entry and enter nnmh-request-group, then I hit M-g on the drafts group: *: nndraft:drafts I get this error: nndraft:drafts error: No Backtrace buffer! nnmh-request-group is not called. I did some feeble debugging of my own, though. :) Dunno wether I'm on the correct track or not. Here goes: I set debug-on-error to t, then hit M-g on the drafts group. The error happens but no backtrace appears. Then I hit RET on the drafts group and I do get a backtrace. It happens within gnus-select-newsgroup("nndraft:drafts" nil nil) I then try (gnus-activate-group "nndraft:drafts") and yes, it returns nil. Following this, I try (gnus-find-method-for-group "nndraft:drafts") and get (nndraft ""). I proceed to check all elements in the `and' call: (gnus-check-server '(nndraft "")) -> t (gnus-parse-active) -> nil That means `active' will be nil, and therefore `gnus-activate-group' will return nil. (switch-to-buffer nntp-server-buffer) switches me to an empty buffer. Maybe that is the source of the problem?
