TH> Well, maybe something like TH> (message 'gnus 'debug "Foo bar %s" (bla)) I see xdisp.c:Vmessages_buffer_name but it's not exposed to ELisp code as a symbol. If it were, (gnus-message) could let-bind it so Gnus messages can go to a separate *Gnus Messages* buffer. It would probably be helpful for other packages too. I don't know if there are issues with that besides the obvious usability problem of multiple log buffers. Ted
