Hello,
An off topic problem. I'm asking here because I noticed this problem
first in this list, but it has spread.
I read e-mail using gnus (v5.13) in emacs (25.3.1) on FreeBSD (10.3).
Some months ago I noticed some messages in this list displaying with
sender 'nobody' and subject '(none)' in gnus. As the months have passed
the number of such messages has increased many-fold and spread to other
lists. On opening the offending e-mail it is usual that the message has
both sender and subject fields with plausible contents. Often, but not
exclusively, the 'nobody' messages originate from gmail accounts.
I have not changed any settings at my end so I assume some commonly used
component of the chain of email applications has changed settings and
that I need to respond to that change. But where? and what?
Any hints on where to look would be most helpful.
Again, sorry for the OT message.
Roger

This would appear to be gnus specific. I use mu4e and have not noticed
anything along these lines. Suggest a gnus specific list might be the
go.

I use Gnus 5.13 and Emacs 25.1.1 with Debian 9.4 and I haven't noticed
this problem.
Have you set gnus-summary-line-format to anything unusual?
Cheers,
Loris
