When I press '1 g' or just 'g' from the "*Group*" buffer, my delayed
articles aren't being sent. I edebugged into gnus-delay-send-drafts
and found that
(gnus-gethash group gnus-newsrc-hashtb)
always returns nil (where 'group' is bound to 'nndraft:delayed').
This is preventing my delayed drafts from being sent.
I have the following in my ~/.gnus:
(require 'gnus-delay)
(gnus-delay-initialize)
Gnus created the file ~/News/drafts/delayed/1 after I pressed C-c C-j
on a message and entered '1m' for "1 minute" as the delay time. The
file contains:
,----[ ~/News/drafts/delayed/1 ]

My gnus is as recent as last Friday's Oort from cvs.
Any clues? I suspect `gnus-newsrc-hashtb' should really contain the
string nndraft:delayed somewhere, but it doesn't.

Whee. Hm. So are you saying that you used C-c C-j for the first
time ever, and then immediately did `1 g' and expected that to do
something?
Maybe Gnus hasn't had a chance yet to see that there was a new
group. What happens if you `g' before `1 g'?

I have been using C-c C-j for several months now. I only recently
noticed that it stopped working.

That doesn't appear to make a difference.
If I grep .newsrc.eld for 'delayed', I get nothing. Should I be
getting a grep hit?

That's bad. Hm.
Can you enter the nndraft:delayed group (maybe use `j' to jump there
first)? Does the directory exist on disk?
It seems that the group has no special parameters, so it might be
sufficient to just `G m' it.

Some versions of grep might not grok long lines, so to be 100% sure
you'll need to load the file in Emacs and use C-s.

I can use 'j nndraft:delayed' and the following line is inserted into
"*Group*":
K *: nndraft:delayed
> Does the directory exist on disk?
It does:
$ ls -al ~/News/drafts
total 8
drwx------ 4 rutt cisgrad 512 Sep 18 13:15 .
drwx------ 9 rutt cisgrad 1024 Nov 4 09:15 ..

When I do 'G m nndraft:delayed' I get the prompt back:
Invalid group name: "nndraft:delayed". Group name:
Was 'nndraft:delayed' the correct string to give?

Sorry for the confusion, I meant 'grep' in a symbolic sense (had
actually used C-s). That's a good point to bring up though for future
reference. I had forgotten how long the .newsrc.eld lines were.

To answer my own question, I was using 'G m' incorrectly. I just did
'G m delayed nndraft RET' and my drafts were sent again.
Now, my ~/.newsrc.eld contains the string 'nndraft', and my previously
unsent delayed drafts were just sent out.
Is there any way we can explain why it disappeared from .newsrc.eld?
I don't think I killed it with 'A k' in the past (I don't think I ever
see it in my *Group* buffer anyway).

Sorry for the vague question. Maybe I killed the group some time ago
accidentally. Thanks for all your support on this. Double-thanks for
writing gnus-delay.el in the first place. It is very useful.
