To make it possible to resolve it, I have a few questions: 1) How does Gnus know that it should look for 111.gz instead of 111? All I can see jka-compr doing is decoding files called something.gz. If foo.gz doesn't exist, and you try to open foo, jka-compr doesn't open foo.gz for you. Do I have to set some variable or something? 2) Did everyone else who got it to work only "require" jka-compr (which does work) and compress files? 3) If I should try to figure out what's wrong, which file(s) and function(s) should I look in? -- [ Below is a random fortune, which is unrelated to the above message. ] Cats are smarter than dogs.

That's all you need in your .emacs file. However I found that there are some files that should be left uncompressed such as your active file and your .overview file. -- Eze Ogwuma ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread
