  Well isn't that the problem right there? `(nil "")'. There's no such
method as `nil' and hence `gnus-get-function' issues the message. That
should probably be `(nnml "")'. The select method for a group is held
in the group's info, which is in (guess :-)), .newsrc.eld. You'll
probably have to reset all your groups up again from scratch, or go
edit the affected group's infos with a `G E'. If that's not it -
what do your select-methods look like (parenthesis and all :-)).
