More controversially :-), I think Υζ Gnus should also stop defining compatibility functions like `gnus-mark-active-p', and instead just start maintaining a `gnus-compat.el' library that would define functions like `mark-active-p' for Emacsen that don't define them. This will make the source code more readable, I think. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no * Sent from my Rome
