I used it on this message. I don't think so. Suppose you've received a digest with several messages as attachments, and you want to followup to one of the attached messages, not to the full message. Anyway, I think gnus can already do that, if you C-d the digest and followup to some of the individual messages. >> 16b Does not refuse posting an empty article >> 16d Does not refuse to post quoted text only >> 16f Does not try to prevent posting multiple copies entirely > These are bogus "SHOULDs" anyhow -- I wouldn't want Gnus to do these > things.

Although gnus currently provides an option for the user to do that, it might be nice if it would only do so if a certain variable (custom?) was set. If such variable is not enabled, gnus would just refuse to post such messages, possibly indicating a section of the manual in order to allow such behavior. Group parameters could also be used to selectively enable/disable this. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.dcc.unicamp.br/~oliva aoliva@{acm.org} oliva@{dcc.unicamp.br,gnu.org,egcs.cygnus.com,samba.org.au} Universidade Estadual de Campinas, SP, Brasil
