But it would be interesting to find out why the active file > entry for this group got hosed. I can't think of how to figure it out. I did look in the backups I have on board (3 days worth) and the active file is already hosed back to Sept 25. It must have been before that when I was able to see all messages. I may have fired up gnus in a situation that caused it to run 5.5 (ie no pointer to pgnus*/lisp) And I have recently started running some code I adopted from a post of yours in batch mode: I'm running it with the pointer to pgnus/lisp added and the "push" line commented since under certain condition (not sure what) that push caused gnus to stumble. I run it like so: emacs -batch -l ~/.emacs-dir/batch-fetch.el -f lars-fetch-news (batch-fetch.el contains the code below) batch-fetch.el ---------------- (setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name "/usr/local/pgnus-0.96/lisp") load-path)) (defun lars-fetch-news () (interactive) ;(push "/usr/local/pgnus-0.96/lisp" load-path) (let ((init-file-user "") (gnus-always-read-dribble-file t)) (gnus)) (gnus-group-send-drafts) (gnus-agent-fetch-session) (gnus-group-quit))
