Given the configurability of Gnus, I think the utility of defaulting to a commonly installed program (xv) far outweighs any aesthetic value you might gain by defaulting to a free alternative, and would like to see this change backed out. It doesn't help that Electric Eyes uses the same executable name as the text editor "easy editor." (The text editor appears to be the only ee at the site where I publically install recent Gnus versions.) -- Aaron M. Ucko, KB1CJC (finger amu@monk.mit.edu)
