Subject: gnus-auto-select-next sometimes gets set to nil
Date: 05 Jan 2000 15:00:43 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ycciu18qg2s.fsf@orff.sea.tera.com> (raw)

Occasionally while reading a group, I 'n' onto a message that has no contents.
Since I have debug-on-error set to true, I get debug output that the message
unexists.  Sometimes, but not repeatably, this has the side effect of setting
gnus-auto-select-next to nil, which renders 'n' incapable of getting me to the
next newsgroup when I've finished reading the current one.

To my untrained (in elisp) eye, the likely culprit is in gnus-sum.el, in the
definition of gnus-summary-next-article:

      (cond
       ((or (not gnus-auto-select-next)
            (not cmd))
        (gnus-message 7 "No more%s articles" (if unread " unread" "")))
       ((or (eq gnus-auto-select-next 'quietly)
            (and (eq gnus-auto-select-next 'slightly-quietly)
                 push)
            (and (eq gnus-auto-select-next 'almost-quietly)
                 (gnus-summary-last-article-p)))

The thing that bugs me is "push".  Could that be the problem?  Or is it a bug
in Emacs-20.3?  I've tried getting my sysadmins to update to 20.5 but it is
delayed for the moment ...
