Thank you for pointing out the problem. Let me try again. (I removed the odd characters from the backtrace, which I suppose were causing gnus to automatically change the encoding. True?) Back to my question: This may be an Emacs problem, but I am only having trouble with Gnus so far. I have this problem when running Emacs in X, but not when it's in a terminal. When I hit M-g on a nnml group in summary or group buffer I get a "Mail source error: ((args-out-of-range ...." I am running Emacs 21.4 and Gnus 5.9.0 on Debian Sid. A recent apt-get dist-upgrade seemed to include a big update to Xorg. Narrowing it down to X took a while, and I'm not sure where to go from here. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks much, -David Backtrace: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Cannot get new mail") signal(error ("Cannot get new mail")) error("Cannot get new mail") byte-code("..."
