Should the > upgrade process cope with that situation? The upgrade message is rather misleading in this case (It is, after all, fairly new code). I can see two issues that would contribute to the confusion. First, the message appears based upon the change in version number. No analysis is made to determine whether the upgrade code actually needs to change your configuration. Secondly, gnus keeps its state scattered across a number of files that are normally hidden from the casual user, it is quite possible that the "upgrade" would be to one of those files. I'll see what I can do to make the messages clearer. Kevin
