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? Mark Hovey
