Can't exit groups

Can't exit groups

[Laura Conrad]

About a week ago, I started having a group that wouldn't let me exit
it, and now the problem is spreading.  This is on fairly recent
ognusen; the spreading is since updating yesterday.

The problem may be confined to groups with total expire on, and the
error message is:


Expiring articles...
Symbol's function definition is void: nntp-request-accept-article

I don't know why it's trying to do anything about nntp-request, since
these are nnml groups.

Do M-: (setq debug-on-error t) RET before exiting a group, then you
should get a backtrace.  What does that say?

If there is gibberish (byte-code), you can remove that by loading the
corresponding *.el file.

The problem here is you've set nnmail-expiry-target to a file name or
a function returning a file name. It should be a group name
instead. See nnmail-expiry-target document.

Thanks, that works.
