I was not aware of that variable, and the save killed list has often been a source of trouble for me, at least when I experiment with backends, as those have a shocking tendency to bug me forever afterwards :-). > I see in the info a recommendation to not delete .newsrc.eld and to > not mess with the topic topology variable. Yet, despite the recommendation, one might have to do it. I got some Mule difficulties around there. By the way, does someone else try to use accented characters in topics? Sounds a pretty natural thing to do for me! -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

Perhaps the default of that variable should be `mule' so that one could have any string in topics without having to edit the variable? It would require that Gnus checked the .newsrc.eld version number and used 'binary for older versions and 'mule for recent. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

Thanks a great deal for this information, I would have hardly found it myself.

It's not unlikely that smtpmail-send-it uses some other method to find your mail address, but I'm not familiar with that function. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread
