If I hit `Q' in the summary buffer, then I want any changes I made to that buffer to not be made. But when I re-enter the group (after exiting with `Q' and with gnus-kill-summary-on-exit set to nil) I just pop right back into the *same* summary buffer, with the same changes still in place. I don't think that makes sense. And it isn't consistent with what happens if I exit with `q', and re-enter, which gives me a fresh summary buffer (since the old one has been renamed). Moreover, it looks like the intent of the code agrees with me. In gnus-summary-exit-no-update I find: (if (not gnus-kill-summary-on-exit) (gnus-deaden-summary) (gnus-close-group group) (gnus-kill-buffer gnus-summary-buffer)) So I'm not sure why this isn't working! > I think this bug report was about `Q' in the group buffer.

The message jidanni sees when exiting gnus with q is a side-effect of the same problem that I'm noticing when you exit the Summary buffer with `Q'. And it's slightly dangerous, since my reaction is to hit `y' when I see that question, which would save changes that I explicitly asked gnus not to save. Dan
