I had already read the FAQ about 3 times, setup.el twice, and parts of the gnus manual several times before posting. The problem (which was probably totally obvious to everyone else) was that it's "message-cite-function" not "message-cite-hook". I could have stared at it for hours and still not noticed that if someone else hadn't sent me mail to point it out (and I even stared at the mail for a few minutes before I noticed). Somehow my brain was interpreting those two to be equal. Other things: I hate directories with capital letters in them. Why do I have to change so many variables to get everything in lower-case "news" and "mail" directories? Shouldn't the defaults be set up a little more hierarchically? It's not totally clear to me where score files for mail should go (assuming that I have news stuff in "news" and mail stuff in "mail"). All I have now is a score file to turn off scoring in nnml groups, so, I just put a copy in both dirs just in case, but I guess I should really figure out which one gnus is using, before I start adding any scoring rules for mailing lists. The one thing that's bugging me a little about reading mail in gnus is that, well, it's too much like a newsreader. ;-) Is there any easy way to make mail groups with no unread messages still be visible and make read messages still be visible within the groups (even if it's a special keystroke to bring them up, I don't care...I kind of like them out of the way, but I'd like to be able to bring them up easily when I need to read old messages). the only thing I can think of would maybe be to browse the server, and read them that way. How does everyone else deal with reading old mail? um, what happened to the help group. It used to be in some file called doc.txt or something like that, but that file isn't in the latest distributions (I just noticed it was missing the other day, but it may have been missing for quite a while now). I still have the group that was created back in the beginning of time which points at that file. What did I miss? thanks, Michael
