Recently I posted an article to sci.math using _postnews. Then I re-invoked Gnus, read my own article, in the *Subject* buffer typed "C" (gnus-Subject-cancel-article) and saw (and heard!) this error in the minibuffer: Search failed: "^J^J" As suggested in the GNUS documentation, I set debug-on-error to 't' and typed "C" again. This is what printed in the debug buffer: Signalling: (search-failed " ") search-forward("\n\n") byte-code("AEF! urs" get-buffer-create " *GNUS-posting*" buffer-flush-undo erase-buffer insert "Newsgroups: " "\n" "Subject: cancel " "Control: cancel " "Distribution: " "" gnus-inews-insert-headers "Canceling your article..." gnus-request-post "Canceling your article... done" "Failed to cancel your article" kill-buffer] 32) gnus-cancel-news() byte-code("AC@A\"D\nE \"" [t nil gnus-Article-buffer gnus-Subject-select-article gnus-eval-in-buffer-window gnus-cancel-news] 5) gnus-Subject-cancel-article() * call-interactively(gnus-Subject-cancel-article) I know nothing about the debugger and can't interprete the above. Can you detect what I am doing wrong? This is unlikely to be of netwide interest, so you may wish to reply to squash@math.ufl.edu Thank you, Jonathan King

Try putting the cursor in the *Article* window and then cancel the article. -- Gilbert Harman (ghh@clarity.princeton.edu) Princeton University Cognitive Science Laboratory 221 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ 08542 (609) 258-2824

The answer (for me and at least one other netter) was that the .el files had been byte-compiled with an earlier version of GNU Emacs. Re-byte-compiling gnuspost.el made everything work. Naturally, I re-byte-compiled everything else too! -Glenn- -- Glenn P. Parker glenn@bitstream.com Bitstream, Inc. uunet!huxley!glenn 215 First Street BIX: parker Cambridge, MA 02142-1270

GNUS signals an error when I type "C" in the *Subject* buffer Command "C" is bound to gnus-Subject-cancel-article. In reponse was this posting: From: ghh@clarity.Princeton.EDU (Gilbert Harman) Date: 6 Dec 90 00:02:30 GMT Organization: Princeton University Cognitive Science Lab Try putting the cursor in the *Article* window and then cancel the article. -- Gilbert Harman (ghh@clarity.princeton.edu) Hmm, there doesn't seem to even be a command in *Article* mode to cancel an article. And running gnus-Subject-cancel-article causes the same error. Jonathan
