BTW, I can't imagine the ffap bindings to be useful in the Gnus
group mode.  An exapmle to get rid of the ffap bindings in only
the Gnus group mode is below.

Anyway I've installed both of the following two changes in the
trunk, and am closing this bug.

> 2. (ffap-file-exists-string): Don't recognize "" as a file name.

M-x gnus
C-x C-f
The prompt for find-file becomes a ~ instead of ~/
It turns out because since one uses ffap-bindings
and the cursor is now resting after a ":", the find-file prompt is
affected.
OK it is not a gnus bug, but most commonly seen when using gnus...

My conf files are in jidanni.org/comp/configuration/
