Actual =3D=3D real.

There's only one Emacs/W3 and it goes by the name of W3 :-) I guess w3-4.0pre46 (or some other number after pre) would be the right one for Emacs 20.x. >> Hm.

Maybe you can do dpkg --purge on the gnome packages, that will delete the config files, too. If you put something like the following in ~/.mailcap, Emacs ought to use Netscape: text/html; netscape %s >> But I think that Gnus should do something useful even without this. It's now clear that this is an issue outside of Gnus' control. After all, Gnus can't know that you have gnome-help-browser in your .mailcap or mail.cap even though that program doesn't exist. kai --=20 Symbol's function definition is void: signature
