How do you actually use it? Hitting `M-g' (gnus-group-get-new-news-this-group, gnus-topic-get-new-news-this-topic) on the group? > The attached patch is relative to today's CVS. > > Could this be applied to the code? The patch is too large to be installed without legal papers. AFAICS, your assignments only cover XEmacs and AUCTeX. So we need an additional assignments, either for Gnus or for Emacs (which covers Gnus as well). If you are willing to sign, I'll send you the form off-list. > Of course, I'm also happy to hear suggestions for improvement. It's not clear to me how to use it (after reading the patch to gnus.texi). Is the `mail-source' Group parameter boolean or a mail source specification? Is it necessary to adjust both, the group parameter and the variable `mail-sources'? Bye, Reiner. -- ,,, (o o) ---ooO-(_)-Ooo--- | PGP key available | http://rsteib.home.pages.de/
