(I am not trying to read news at the moment). All my mail groups are of the nnfolder type. The *Group* buffer looks like this for example 2: nnfolder:other 1: nnfolder:cygwin 3: nnfolder:ntemacs-users Now I can't enter any of these groups, I only get the error `No unread news' and the number in front of the group drops to zero (Sometimes I get the error `Args out of range'). The problem seems to be caused by linefeeds (^M's) in my mail folders. After removing these linefeeds by opening the folder with `M-x find-file-literally' and replacing all ^M's with nothing, I can open the folder from the *Group* buffer. But unfortunately only temporarily! As soon as Gnus saves the folder again for whatever reason (usually because new mail has been retrieved into this folder from the pop server), the ^M's are there again. And again I can't open the folder. How to stop these ^M's from appearing again? Thank you very much for any help, Mike Fabian PS: The Emacs and gnus versions which I am using are: (version) "GNU Emacs 20.3.9.1 (i386-*-nt4.0) of Tue May 11 1999 on gridlock" (gnus-version) "Pterodactyl Gnus v0.89" -- Mike Fabian (mike.fabian@it-mannesmann.de) Mannesmann Datenverarbeitung Mathematische/Technische Systeme Verfahrenstechnik Rehhecke 50, D-40885 Ratingen Tel.: +49-2102 97 1763, Fax: +49-2102 97 1345
