   The message I get is as follows:
   
      Cannot read active file from nnml server.

I also noticed this message, yesterday, trying to initialise Red Gnus 0.8
on a Gnus-virgin system, for a friend wanting to switch to it.  I did not
notice this message when I initialised my own machine, with 5.2.37 I think.

Merely `touch'ing `active' did not solve the problem, and I unsuccessfully
try various patterns of crudely-existing or non-existing-at-all status for
`~/Mail', `~/Mail/active', and `.newsrc.eld'.

However, forcing a first session nevertheless and getting out of Gnus
normally, and everything went fine for me on subsequent sessions.
