It's getting to be a real visual distraction and I don't know how to stop it. I haven't changed my .emacs, .gnus, updated my Emacs or my Gnus installation in quite a while. Does anyone have a clue for me as to how to dispell this curse? Thanks in advance, -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
