Does `G E' print something different for the failing group and some other succeeding group?

You could replace ((1 . 12263) (55829 . 56328)) with () after G > E, then hit C-c C-c, then see what happens. Thanks. I'll give it a try tonight. I tried just replacing the second two numbers, so it was ((1.12263 (12264 . 12265)) but that did nothing, and when I checked again, the numbers had been set back. Isn't gnus-groups-clear-data supposed to take care of this?

I may have had some articles cached at one time, but I thought they got cleared when I reset all groups after ATTBI did its server change. I'm not sure what an Agent hierarchy is or how I would have one.

In particular, adding force yes to the right line of the authinfo file didn't fix it. Victor ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

If there isn't, you don't use the Agent. :-) As far as I know, I've never used the Agent. Yet there's a directory hierarchy here: ~/News/agent/nntp/netnews.attbi.com/agent.lib/active /history comp/... gnu/... rec/... etc. Thanks, -pd -- -------- Peter Davis Funny stuff at http://www.pfdstudio.com List of resources for children's writers and illustrators at: http://www.pfdstudio.com/cwrl.html ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
