Are you using the latest version? In Gnus > CVS, nnmairix should be revision 7.14, in Emacs CVS it's revision 1.13 > (which is also in the latest pretest, 23.0.95). Hm, I got Emacs sources from git mirror at git://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs.git. Emacs version is GNU Emacs 23.0.94.1 and it seems that nnmairix revision is only 0.6, I read this from the header of lisp/gnus/ nnmairix.el. So it seems pretty old. I'm going to update my emacs sources, but is revision 1.13 going to fix the issue I encountered ? [me updating emacs source] OK I got EMACS_PRETEST_23_0_95 and the revision of nnmairix is still 0.6... but I'm not sure about which branch or tag I should use since the repo branches/tags looks very messy IMHO. Also I'm suprised about the difference between the revision from Gnus CVS and Emacs CVS... thanks
