I don't think its onerous to expect gnus to be running at the same time. Cheers, Jody PS, I *think* I've figured out how to merge vcard attachements with BBDB. Its not very robust yet, but thats just due to my inability to understand LISP. How *do* you guys do it? Is there a good emacs Lisp book around somewhere? "Writing GNU Emacs Extensions" is a little too terse for me. -- Jody Klymak APL/School of Oceanography, Doctoral Candidate University of Washington mailto:jklymak@apl.washington.edu (206)-685-9080 http://www.ocean.washington.edu/people/grads/jklymak/
