gnus-goto-colon

[Pavel@Janik.cz (Pavel Janík)]

Hi,

in gnus.el we have:

;; Fix by Hallvard B Furuseth <h.b.furuseth@usit.uio.no>.
;; If you want the cursor to go somewhere else, set these two
;; functions in some startup hook to whatever you want.
(defalias 'gnus-summary-position-point 'gnus-goto-colon)
(defalias 'gnus-group-position-point 'gnus-goto-colon)

It is the cause of my problems in groups where I have customised
gnus-summary-line-format to include only the subjects and these subjects
can be very long (~80 chars) and can contain colons. Now, when I'm reading
by subjects, when moving to next article, the point jumps here and there
(if the subject contains `:') and it is really distracting. I'd like to get
rid of this in my .gnus:

; Workaround for Gnus inconvenience
(defalias 'gnus-summary-position-point 'beginning-of-line)

What was the reason for this change?

In the beginning was the word, and the word was content-type: text/plain.
