Hi,

i use the default highlighting which gnus provides, but this seems to
work strange sometimes. Here is an example (press C-d and then select
the part with forwarded message):

That "check /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe" thing is a way of detecting whether
you are on a kernel that uses kmod or not. If you are on 2.1.90 or later,
then you do not need to start kerneld at all. If /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe
exists then you are on 2.1.90 or later, and use kmod, so don't start kerneld.

Add these lines to your /etc/modules.conf (or /etc/conf.modules if you use
that. It makes no difference.):
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-1 off # This is Predictor-1, not yet supported

That's stuff like slhc and bsd_comp and ppp_deflate. They get built
automagically for you when you enable PPP.

I hope that was the information you needed. :)

Gnus-cite believes that the line ending with "says:" is a loose
attribute line, and highlights it accordingly.

The highlighting is based purely on heuristics, which means is _will_
be wrong sometimes.  So, instead of worrying about the one line where
it guessed wrong, be happy about all the other lines where the guesses
were right.

No, no.  The highlighting has changed in recent Gnusae, for worse, I
might say.  Some lines starting with "  > " aren't highlighted at all,
whereas other lines not containing "writes:" or "says:" are
highlighted as if they did.

It is rather obvious (to me) that there is some bug in the code.

I'll try to dig up a screenshot so you will see what Vladimir and I
are talking about.

Yup.  Fix in Pterodactyl Gnus v0.78.
