That is, except me? I really like the look of a message in Times-Roman, with a somewhat long line length, but I have a few problems. I put 'gnus-article-fill-cited-article into the gnus-article-display-hook (I think it is). This seems to work ok, but I have to, I think, set fill-column to some number of characters, which means the message will jag a lot on the right side, and with lines with lots of caps or m's the line will wrap. Ugly. Fix? Also, gnus-article-fill-cited-article is not intelligent enough when it comes to recognizing tables, lists, and the like. Some simple rules could surely be added to adress this? Though I assume tables will be broken anyway, given the use of spaces - unless, of course, that part of the article could be displayed in a fixed font. Same for signature. Possible? Last, there's the summary buffer. Given large differences between with of spaces, pluses, minuses, and Es, Os, etc, the indentation of articles is close to useless. Perhaps the best thing would be to use some fixed font in this buffer - is that at all possible? I use Xemacs, for the moment, but I'll change to GNU any day for the above improvements. Comments? Suggestions? ~kzm
