I'm glad you ask. I've reported this to Lars several times already, but he couldn't find anything wrong because I was also unable to find the place of the bug ! It seems to happen randomly: sometimes, nnml-article-file-alist doesn't contain all the file names, but only the first part. I've checked the code several times, and I couldn't see a single place where nnml-article-file-alist fails to be initialized correctly. It looks like the directory-files function returns a truncated result... Usually, entering another nnml group then the wanted one corrects the bug (it forces nnml-article-file-alist to be re-read). This bug has been present for several months, and is quite annoying... Sam -- "La cervelle des petits enfants, ca doit avoir comme un petit gout de noisette" Charles Baudelaire
