Agreed. Miles' code included: (add-hook 'gnus-summary-mode-hook (lambda () (local-set-key "v" 'gnus-article-variable-pitch-mode))) I've been using it for a while now (with DejaVu Mono as the fixed font and DejaVu Serif as the variable-pitch font). Very cool indeed. I'd live to see a variable pitch mode for the Summary and Group buffers, too, using something other than spaces to place the columnar data. I don't know whether Emacs has the necessary support for that yet, though. Variable-pitch-mode also works well in message buffers. -JimC -- James Cloos OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6
