I really don't know if the user is supposed to change the command, I guess if there's only one way to do it, he doesn't need to. > What do you think of the following solution as a compromise? > "Command for converting an image to an X-Face. > The default is to convert from GIF images by using giftopnm and some > other programs." I think we must at least give the expected image format in the functions docstrings, so that the user knows what file to give at the prompt, otherwise she'll be confused. Your suggestion looks fine, can you cook something up for the function definitions as well? (In `gnus-convert-image-to-face-command', "X-Face" should be "Face", by the way--your patch didn't fix it.) -- Romain FRANCOISE | The moon is closer to the sun it's a miracle -- http://orebokech.com/ | than I am to anyone.
