Hi David,
I'm triaging Emacs bugs in Debian. This one is really old...

gnus seems to have trouble reading my

folder, which it didn't under emacs20. I get this error:

Are you still seeing this? I could imagine this would have been
reported more often if it were reproducible. Also, do you use the Gnus
version that comes with Emacs or a separately packaged Gnus?
