If it's not getting loaded, I can't think of what else could be causing the problem. Unless you've got some old *elc files lying around from a previous installation. But if you're confident that you've searched all the relevant locations, I'd say this file is still your culprit. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
