Subject: Re: gnus should backup .newsrc.eld
Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2008 01:58:04 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87d4fsgfyr.fsf@jidanni.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <uhc552eti.fsf@dod.no>

(I now do (setq gnus-backup-startup-file version-control) in .gnus.el,
and (setq version-control t) in .emacs.)

And can be edited by humans [even if only when gnus is turned off.]
E.g., I can never use the "Customize" system (too dazzling), and edit
~/.emacs-custom.el by hand.
