I'm not sure what you call `semantics' here, this doesn't make sense: the user can set all the gnus-treat-date-* variables to t, but only one will really work. Moreover, if several of them are set to t, you basically don't know which one is going to win, appart from snarfing in the code. This is confusing. -- / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / E.N.S.T. INF C201.1 mailto:verna@inf.enst.fr /_/ / /_/ / /__ / 46 rue Barrault Tel.
