Subject: mm-remove-part lock-up during group exit in p0.95
Date: 04 Aug 1999 09:16:24 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <vxk1zdjbs9j.fsf@beaver.jprc.com> (raw)

I was in nnml:mailer-daemon, had looked at a spam bounce-o-gram, whose 
original spam content was HTML.  I had just done `B DEL' to destroy it 
and was then trying to leave the group.  This error bit me hard:

Unfortunately, having `B DEL'd the message, I can't even show its
content in order to see what weirdness was going on.  This error
amounted to a total lock-up of Gnus for me, because I couldn't leave
the group by any means.  I had to manually move to the *Group* buffer
and exit uncleanly out from there; Gnus offered to let me "update
*Summary:nnml.mailer-daemon*?", to which I stupidly said yes, and got
the same error again, as it tried again erroneously to clean up.  I
finally exited Gnus by quitting without any updates.
