What in the world does gnus-group-use-permanent-levels do? Joe> The doc string is utterly baffling. What does it mean by Joe> "once you set a level"? Suppose your default listing level is 5. Suppose you type `3 l', then you type `l' again. With gnus-group-use-permanent-levels, the last `l' will list level 3 groups (as that is the last level that you have set), without it, the last `l' will list level 5 groups (as that is the default listing level). Imagine that with g-g-u-p-l, a ` l' command changes the default listing level. Joe> 8. What is "~/Mail/drafts" for? It used to be that messages you were composing were automatically autosaving to a file in ~/Mail/drafts. Thus, you could abandon composing a message, exit Emacs, start it again, visit the nndraft:drafts group, finish your partially completed message and send it. I think this functionality has been lost somehow (when message.el was introduced) and will reappear in Red Gnus. kai -- Life is hard and then you die.
