I'm using XEmacs 21.4(6), and fsf emacs > 21.1. I take it back. I did find movemail programs for both fsf emacs and XEmacs. They were apparently part of the Windows distributions of these. They're not on my regular executable path, but I assume emacs knows how to find them. So this still leave me with the basic problem: Why doesn't gnus read mail from this spool file. Aargh! Thanks for all help thus far. -pd -- -------- Peter Davis Funny stuff at http://www.pfdstudio.com The artwork formerly shown as prints List of resources for children's writers and illustrators at: http://www.pfdstudio.com/cwrl.html
