Error message after upgrade

Error message after upgrade

[torbjorn.m.granlund]

After I upgraded emacs from 22.3 to 25.1 I get an error message each time I send an email with gnus. I've tried to understand the problem but have failed after several hours of work.

The error message is:

  nndraft:drafts..~ error: Can’t select group (no such directory): drafts..~

I don't ever set any vriable to the zany valeu "drafts..~".

Please help. Messages seem to be sent, but this error message is quite annoying.

Sounds like you have a group but no
corresponding directory. For example, I have

    /home/incal/Mail/drafts
    /home/incal/News/drafts
    /home/incal/News/drafts/drafts

do you have it/them as well?

Also try

    M-x apropos-value RET drafts RET

where I have (among other hits)

    message-auto-save-directory
       "/home/incal/Mail/drafts/"

Sounds likely, right?
