Great, thanks, and it works too :)

But... remember (or not), some (quite) time ago I wrote that, with
several pop3 servers (using pop3.el) Gnus does not processes the
messages received from the last (in nnmail-spool-file) pop3 server,
*immediately*. They are left in .emacs-mail-crash-box. The next
"checking for new news" fixes things though. Well, this particular bug
is still here with us. Or at least with me :| And it is 100%
consistent. Using XEmacs 21.2.13 under NT.

This probably means that your pop function is not returning non-nil on 
successful retrievals.  Are you using pop3-movemail?  In that case,
try to eval

(pop3-movemail "/tmp/mbox")

and see what it returns.

Yes! That was it. I'm using pop3.el which came in a XEmacs package,
and it - unlike the one that is included with gnus - did not return t
on exit. Thanks.

When there is new mail in my local spool and I check for mail with 
'g', I sometimes get this with pgnus 0.81. Repeating 'g' two or three
times will check my mail correctly.

Lars, did the patch about my #%!@up in the :prescript and :postscript for

I haven't yet read the personal mail and gnus-bug stuff, so if it was
there, I haven't.  Uhm.  Or to put it another way -- if you didn't get 
a nack/ack, then I haven't looked at it yet.  :-)

> ! 	  (prog1

But I've now applied this to 0.82.

Hm.  The www.gnus.org thing takes a bit longer to update itself, so
perhaps I should alter the URLs to point to Quimby?  Yes, I'll do
that.

Just updated from 0.72 to 0.95 (yes, it's been a while), and found this
much to my disagreement.  I have gnus-group-kill-all-zombies in
gnus-save-newsrc-hook to keep the size of my .newsrc.eld down (being on
a fast LAN and all), and I don't want to be queried every time I save!

I have added a function gnus-group-kill-all-zombies-force that does the
nasty work, and made gnus-group-kill-all-zombies call it after asking.

I well understand that, when invoked from within an automatic procedure,
query might be inconvenient.  However, interactively, `S z' and `A z' are
rather close on the keyboard, and mistakenly typing `S z' may be disastrous
for those who do want to revive a careful selection of zombies before killing
all the others.  As far as I am concerned, the prompting is very welcome!

Lars' message implies that the interactive behavior doesn't change, he
just offers a new function (with a different name!) for the hook.
