How a bout a similar feature for gnus :-) I always have to look around a big bit to fund the correct URL.. It is probably no must that it installs the new version, but it would be nice if it could fetch on demand the latest beta, or release.. /Andy -- Hi I am an alien .sig, and at the moment I am having sex to your mind, by looking at your smile I can see that you like it.
