Having studied on this some, I don't believe gnus supports allowing edited posts in the newsgroup itself. However any Newsgroup post can be edited just like a mail message if you prefix the 'e' (edit) command with C-u . Then you can edit but not save it back to the group in NNTP groups. Must save it somewhere else. I have some code worked out that makes it fairly handy to do. (lots of help form Kai G) Although its rough spots are thoroughly my doing. If you want this sent privately. I will. Or even post it here as it is fairly brief. But not smooth and professionsal. -- Harry Putnam reader@newsguy.com Running Redhat Linux-5.1
