I noticed an annoying property of GNUS in the summary buffer..
When I do a 'd' to mark a message as read and the curser goes to the
next line, it gets repositioned after the first ':' in the subject
line (first character in the line if there's no ':' in the
subject)
As my subject lines are sometimes too long that they get truncated off
the edge of the screen (summary buffer is made with 'wrap-long-lines'
set to null), so this causes the whole window to scroll to the right,
which is disconcerting.
Is there any way I can disable this behavior, so that if I do a 'd',
it goes down one line and stays in the same column?
Thanks.
Scott

Gnus expects that you have a colon somewhere else in your summary
lines. But Gnus wasn't Gnus, if it wasn't configurable: just
redefine the function gnus-goto-colon. For example:
(defun gnus-goto-colon ()
(beginning-of-line)
(forward-char 3))

Gnus wasn't Gnus if there wasn't a second solution of this problem.
Set %C in your `gnus-summary-line-format'. See
info://Gnus/Positioning+Point
Cheers, Ray

I have a local archive newsserver with groups with more than 50k messages in
it. When I try to enter those groups with Gnus I can have a cigarette before
Gnus is ready. -- Oh no, I can see the lawsuits ... "Gnus causes cancer".
