[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello 

I just upgrade to the last gnus-git, and 
I have the following setting

(setq gnus-message-archive-group
	  '((if (message-news-p)
			'("sent-news")
		  '("sent-mail"))))

When I want to enter the group (which worked fine with no gnus 0.18) I
obtain an error I attach

Hm.  So something has created a directory called sent-mail?  Did Gnus do
that?

More information was requested three months ago, but none were given, so
I'm closing this bug report.  Please reopen if further progress is made.
