Yes, you are right, I've just tested it by using a window config with gnus summary and article on the right an *scratch* on the left (as placeholder for your ERC buffer window). Following up to a message with yank will make the message-buffer be shown in one and only window. However, when sending off the message, the complete window config is restored again, which is the most important thing IMO. Following up without yank will produce a 2 window config with the article buffer above and the message buffer below. Basically, that's pretty good, but I agree that it would be even better if Gnus would only remove Gnus windows. Bye, Tassilo
