Subject: saving gnus .newsrc.eld
Date: 25 Sep 1997 07:01:43 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <yld8lx98rs.fsf@cchan1.math.wesleyan.edu> (raw)
A minor defect of Gnus has been bothering me for a while, so since we
are at the beginning of a new development cycle I thought I would
mention it. If I run Gnus, then forget about it and kill emacs later
without ever quitting Gnus, then save-buffers-kill-emacs (C-x C-c) asks
me if I want to save .newsrc-dribble. At this point I have no good
option except to hit C-g, switch to the *Group buffer, and quit Gnus.
If I do not do this and just allow Emacs to save .newsrc-dribble, then
the next time I start Gnus it will ask me if I want to read the autosave
file. I don't lose any mail this way, but it is still annoying.
Is there some variable I can set so that Gnus will automatically save
itself when I leave a Gnus-controlled buffer, or something of that
sort? In general, is there a good solution to this?
My current solution is to redefine save-buffers-kill-emacs in my .gnus
file by adding the lines
(setq gnus-interactive-exit nil)
(gnus-group-exit)
right after the interactive statement.
Anybody have anything better to do?
