The problem is gnus-zombie-list. More specifically the problem is that if you have gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method set to gnus-subscribe-zombies, gnus will put the same groups in gnus-zombie-list over and over again. It happens only when you start gnus for the first time in a given emacs session - so if you never quit emacs it's not a problem. I'm using XEmacs-19.13 and sgnus-0.57, is it the same in other emacsen and sgnusii? (Or whatever the proper plural forms are.) Work-around: Do ESC ESC (setq gnus-zombie-list nil) before you quit gnus. Benny -- Finger for PGP Public Key WWW: Benny's homepage
