The behaviour of ticked articles in these groups seems erratic. Some times I can enter an nnvirtual group where there should be 2 ticked articles (I ticked them and the group list shows me that there are two ticked), but none of the ticked articles are listed. If I exit the summary the ticked article count in the group list goes to zero. In some cases I can now quit and restart gnus and the ticked articles come back. Sometimes they don't. Occasionally things go rather more wild, and a random selection of articles get ticked, some previously seen articles are marked unseen (and vice versa). All in all, a disconcerting experience ! Any suggestions as to how to track down this problem ? Initially I thought that perhaps it was because I had: (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-news 20 20) in my .gnus.el (as the corruption somewhat coincided with me leaving Summary buffers visible when new mail was incorporated). I turned that off and things improved for a while, but it's doing it again now. I tried: (setq nnml-marks-is-evil t) but that didn't seem to have any effect. Configuration: - GNU Emacs 21.1.2 (i386-debian-linux-gnu, X toolkit) of 2001-10-22 on peppermint - Oort Gnus v0.05 (cvs update this morning) - mail in nnml groups - news on a local nntp server (leafnode). Any suggestions as to possible causes or how to debug ? The fact that I can run for a few days without seeing the problem is making it frustrating. dme.
