Excuse me not getting to that earlier; I managed, accidentally, to have Gnus ignore comp.emacs.xemacs for half a week :-( . Gnus people, when you’ve subscribed to a group, and have read all the messages in that group, and the line for that group has disappeared from the *Groups* buffer, what’s the sanctioned way to go back and reread those messages? I type “U” in the “*Group*” buffer, subscribe to comp.emacs.xemacs, read 50 messages, and then I seem to be unsubscribed from it, which is exactly what I don’t want. Anyway, Alan, tell us if recode with trn works for you. A few minutes’ googling doesn’t give me anything better as a suggestion, besides using the UTF-8 branch of Mutt together with a news-mail gateway. -- “Ah come on now Ted, a Volkswagen with a mind of its own, driving all over the place and going mad, if that’s not scary I don’t know what is.”
