However, when conducting a `gnus-agent-expire' I get: File error: "Opening output file", "No such file or directory", "/home/mike/News/agent/nntp/sunsite.auc.dk/gnu/emacs/gnus/.overview" It would appear that, having finished expiring articles for my primary select method (via which I subscribe to gnu.emacs.gnus), a variable's value is perhaps not being reset to an appropriate value. I've tried to track it down, but I can only verify that `sym' evaluates to `gnu\.emacs\.gnus' at the time of the error in `gnus-agent-expire'. I only subscribe to this group on my primary server, which, at the time of error, has already had its articles successfully expired. Anyone else getting this? -- Mike.
