Subject: Aargh! Netscape mail reader creates .newsrc-foo
Date: 20 Nov 1997 10:12:08 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <kigiutovsif.fsf@jagor.srce.hr> (raw)
Every time I accidentally start up the netscape news/mail reader
(e.g. by inadvertently clicking on a mailto: URL), it creates a
`.newsrc-bagan.srce.hr' file in my home directory, `bagan.srce.hr'
being my news server.
This always f*ks up Gnus, which thinks this file should take
precedence over my normal `.newsrc.eld' (I don't save normal `.newsrc'
at all.) This is highly annoying, because when I startup Gnus next
time, I get an ugly buffer with no topics and no group levels, and I
think of a catastrophe every time.
Can this somehow be turned off? Couldn't Gnus be made to ignore
`.newsrc-foo' files?
