Subject: Two annoyances with daemons
Date: 15 Apr 1999 20:06:14 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87btgpzax5.fsf@donut.mit.edu> (raw)
I have a daemon set up to scan new news/mail every 10 minutes. This
works well, except for two little problems:
(1) I enter a group from the *Group* buffer by pressing RET. This
unfortunately coincides with a daemon update. The news scan
happens, and then my top-level thread collapses. (It seems like,
in general, a daemon update happening while I'm in the group
buffer sends the cursor to the top of the buffer.)
(2) I'm composing a news post when an update happens. AFAICT the post
happens fine, but reading more articles from the same group fails
with an "article not found" error. Exiting and re-entering the
group mostly fixes things.
Any hints/solutions to these problems? pgnus-0.79, using topics and
bbdb, if either of those matter...
