Well. Hm. Ah, a method is always a list. Okay, then. So maybe the Gnus source should be searched for rogue occurrences of gnus-method-equal and gnus-methods-equal-p (what's the difference?). I'm guessing that Gnus should use gnus-server-equal in most places. What do you think? gnus-server-equal accepts servers (server names) as well as methods, converts the server names to methods, and compares the methods. kai --=20 Symbol's function definition is void: signature
