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 :-)). -- Mike.
