Message-ID: Date: 5 Dec 90 19:11:01 GMT Sender: news@mathlab.math.ufl.EDU Organization: University of Florida Department of Mathematics Lines: 32 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
