Still it is a bug, just not a Gnus bug. :-) Yep, this could actually be one of those real bugs: an insect that crawled into the server, causing it to fry. :-) Lute. -- (spook) => "diwn smuggle Pine Gap" (insert-file-contents "~/.signature") => (error "`~/.signature' too rude") ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

As I've never seen this, and I also TCP fowards all my ports via SSH, I think there is some bad interaction between Gnus / Emacs / fowarder happening here. If you use the elisp primitives to open network connections and send data through it, can you reproduce what is happening?

You should always be able to do C and O in the *Server* buffer. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
