I typically read mail and news with gnus. I have an external process that slurps up my mail and deposits it in ~/.incoming/mail.spool. Then I use 'C-u 2 g' to snarf it into gnus. With my new setup, gnus reads and splits the mail, then reports buffer is read only # I (setq debug-on-error t) and didn't get a traceback. If I exit gnus and return, all my mail shows up. Bug or operator error? --norm P.S. Since I'm already sending a message... - Is there any easy way to swap the functionality of "g" and "C-u 2 g"? - All the lines in my group buffer end with ^M in Emacs 20.3.1. Anyone got a hint about fixing that (I haven't tried yet)?
