I was using "gnus" from source, which gave me version "Ma Gnus v0.12" and I could never load "gnus-namazu.el" no matter where I physically put it. So as I'd already got "namazu" installed from the debian jessie repos, I commented out the source lines leading to my git repo of gnus, and then restarted emacs, and ditto gnus. I'm now running "Gnus v5.13" and I've been able to start namazu off and index all my emails, and had several preliminary searches. I'll use it in earnest tomorrow. I've also sorted out why I wasn't able to reply to emails properly, being unable to have quoted text showing. So things are back to normal again, hooray! :) Sharon. -- A taste of linux = http://www.sharons.org.uk my git repo = https://bitbucket.org/boudiccas/dots TGmeds = http://www.tgmeds.org.uk Debian testing, fluxbox 1.3.5, emacs 24.4.1.0
