This works great if I C-x m after having started Gnus (I could start > it and then q it too), but if I start Emacs and then do C-x m (without having > already started Gnus) I get an error as follows: > > Symbol's function definition is void: nil Excuse me butting in here belatedly: The var suggested by Kai `gnus-user-agent', is there documentation on this somewhere? Running 5.8.8 of several months vintage my INFO manual shows: This manual corresponds to Gnus 5.7. and has no documentation of this variable So updating via cvs I see I now have `Oort Gnus v0.01. Which still says 5.7 and still doesn't contain any hits on `gnus-user-agent'. If using the variable allows the former RMAIL commands like C-x m to work in gnus, is it also possible to get the RMAIL command: `C-x 5 m' (`compose-mail-other-frame') to work for gnus? That question was raised here some time back but no one mentioned this as a possibility.
