Unfortunately, it's not one that can swivel (I prefer a portrait orientation to my monitors) so I am having to adapt to it. Gnus provides the really useful gnus-buffer-configuration for arranging the various buffers. I have set mine up as follows: (setq gnus-buffer-configuration '((group (horizontal 1.0 (group 1.0 point))) (summary (horizontal 1.0 (summary 0.6 point) (group 1.0))) (article (horizontal 1.0 (article 0.6) (summary 1.0 point))) (forward (horizontal 1.0 (message 0.6 point) (article 1.0))) (message (horizontal 1.0 (message 0.6 point) (article 1.0))) (reply (horizontal 1.0 (message 0.6 point) (article 1.0))) (reply-yank (horizontal 1.0 (message 0.6 point) (article 1.0))))) This works quite nicely. The buffer of interest is always the one to the left of the screen where my eyes tend to focus first. I have two questions: 1. The settings are quite symmetric except for one: the article is shown to the left but the point is on the summary window. In all other cases, point is on the left buffer. If, however, I try to have point be in the article buffer, (article (horizontal 1.0 (article 0.6 point) (summary 1.0))) I get an error: ,---- | Debugger entered--Lisp error: (args-out-of-range 0) | get-char-property(0 invisible) | gnus-summary-show-thread() | gnus-summary-scroll-up(1) | call-interactively(gnus-summary-scroll-up nil nil) `---- 2. I have tried adding the "server" buffer to the group display, again for symmetry, but this doesn't seem to work. The server buffer becomes inactive. I haven't explored this one fully so I may have done something wrong. However, if anybody has the server buffer shown simultaneously with the group buffer, can you please send me your buffer configuration settings? Anyway, this one is much less important than point 1 above! All of this is with gnus from git up to date a few minutes ago. thanks, eric -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.1.50.1 + Ma Gnus v0.6
