Hello,
I am sorry if this message reaches you twice, I still have problem
using pGnus correctly.
I am a new user trying to start using pGnus for reading mail. (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"

Hello,
I could solve my problem that pGnus always recreated ^M's at the end
of lines in files where mails retrieved with the nnfolder-backend are
stored by including:
(set-language-environment "Japanese")
(prefer-coding-system 'iso-2022-jp-unix)
in my .emacs. Previously I had only
(set-language-environment "Japanese")
and the coding system seems to have defaulted to iso-2022-jp-dos.
Now pGnus seems to work correctly and doesn't create the ^M's any
more. Hopefully, using (prefer-coding-system 'iso-2022-jp-unix) won't
get me into other trouble. As I have to use Windows NT, I thought that
iso-2022-jp-dos was the correct choice.
Mike
