Big Problme: `J S' while unplugged

Big Problme: `J S' while unplugged

[David Abrahams]

I just did `J S' (gnus-agent-fetch-group) from my summary buffer while
unplugged.  Suddenly, many of my cached but as-yet-unread articles
were marked expired/deleted (i.e. turned black and seem to be
unretrievable).  Is there a way to get them back, or are they gone for
good?

1) Try (gnus-agent-regenerate-group "your.groups.name") Depending on
the version of Oort being used, you might be able to try
(gnus-agent-regenerate-group "your.groups.name" t).  It will also
unread all articles in the agent.

2) Pls report the version that you are running.

3) If it isn't, at least, Oort 0.13 UPGRADE!

It seems to have come back by itself eventually.

        o0-15 on top of NTEmacs 21.2.1

     I guess it is.

Thanks for your attention,

Thanks.  This is a strange case.  I tried to reproduce it using Oort
0.15 but encountered entirely different results.  You are correct in
that the 'J S' command should do nothing when unplugged.  That will be
fixed soon.
