Hi Tomas,

yes that helped.

Thanks a lot


next problem: there is a mistake somewhere, I don´t know where.
I put that in my gnus.el:

;;nice colours for spot groups with new emails
  '((gnus-group-mail-1-empty ((t (:foreground "SlateGray3"))))
  '(gnus-group-mail-3 ((t (:foreground "spring green"))))
  '(gnus-group-mail-3-empty ((t (:foreground "SlateGray3"))))
  '(gnus-group-news-3 ((t (:foreground "spring green"))))
  '(gnus-group-news-3-empty ((t (:foreground "SlateGray3"))))
  '(gnus-group-news-low ((t (:foreground "spring green")))))


Kind regards

Gottfried
