You are right. The above diff was only the most recent change. The diff to Emacs 22 is: -(defcustom gnus-confirm-mail-reply-to-news nil +(defcustom gnus-confirm-mail-reply-to-news (and gnus-novice-user + (not gnus-expert-user)) > The question is what is the best default. Should the users see an > extra question in 23.1? The rationale for the current default is that if the user is a novice and not a Gnus expert (see the doc string of `gnus-expert-user'), he should be warned. This sounds plausible. But I'm not sure if using `S W' in Gmane groups has been considered there. Probably the default should be nil for (very) wide replies. What do people think? [I don't have time to implement this during the next week.] Bye, Reiner. -- ,,, (o o) ---ooO-(_)-Ooo--- | PGP key available | http://rsteib.home.pages.de/
