Once you save the buffer, the autosave should be removed. If the buffer remains unchanged up to the point when you press `C-x C-c', everything should work fine. In fact, I've exited Gnus using `s' followed by `C-x C-c' many times (for various reasons), and I've never seen the auto-save file being generated as a result. But then again, I am not 100% sure what strategy Gnus uses for autosaving `.newsrc', so I may be missing something. -- Hrvoje Niksic | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- "Silence!" cries Freydag.
