I've just switched to NT Emacs 20.3.1 and pgnus 0.63.
I typically read mail and news with gnus. I have an external process
that slurps up my mail and deposits it in ~/.incoming/mail.spool.
Then I use 'C-u 2 g' to snarf it into gnus.
With my new setup, gnus reads and splits the mail, then reports
buffer is read only #<buffer *Group*>
I (setq debug-on-error t) and didn't get a traceback.
If I exit gnus and return, all my mail shows up.
Bug or operator error?
--norm
P.S. Since I'm already sending a message...
- Is there any easy way to swap the functionality of "g" and "C-u 2 g"?
- All the lines in my group buffer end with ^M in Emacs 20.3.1. Anyone
got a hint about fixing that (I haven't tried yet)?
Cheers,
norm

Set gnus-group-default-list-level to 2, then use `5 g' to retrieve new
messages for groups on levels <= 5.

`W c' runs gnus-article-remove-cr. Put it in your
gnus-article-display-hook.

Yes, but I'm seeing this in the *Group* buffer, not in article buffers
(probably because I've already got remove-cr in the display hook, though
I haven't checked).

Sorry about that, I mis-read your report. What does your
gnus-group-line-format contain?

*Blush* Nevermind. It ended with an embedded literal linebreak
instead of "\n". Emacs 20's end-of-line handling turned it into
a ^M where Emacs 19 used to just drop it, I guess. Wonder why I
did that, lo those many years ago. Thanks for pointing me in the
right direction...
