Looking at the opened '.newsrc.eld' I see that it suggests that you 'touch .newsrc', so I closed gnus down, did the 'touch .newsrc' and restarted gnus, but the display shown above still retains the same format. That display is an artefact from my previous attempts to run gnus, and I would dearly love to purge my system of it, but I can't find in which file it is stored.=20 One of the sites that I've been following is at http://koldfront.dk/text/gnus-email-tutorial.html#thebasics which I've subsequently learned is your site Adam! Thank you very much for it, its give information in a very clear and concise, yet still understandable, format. :) I've now set a daemon in my '.gnus.el' =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D ;; gnus daemon settings (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-mail 20 10) (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-news 60 nil) (gnus-demon-add-scanmail) (setq gnus-use-demon t) (gnus-demon-init) =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D so I'll leave it running overnight, and see what happens.=20 Thank you Adam, for your patience and time in helping me, it is appreciated. :) Sharon. --=20 =EF=BB=BFA taste of linux =3D http://www.sharons.org.uk my git repo =3D https://bitbucket.org/boudiccas/dots Debian testing, Fluxbox 1.3.5, emacs 24.3.1 Registered Linux user 561944 --Sig_/9LB3PohW/18UiTdJRRYhUfz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQIbBAEBCgAGBQJTLfPIAAoJEDaBgBkK+INbM4sP+PJq2tF6o+U2ZjYwuM3MDJkB XQdK5Ro8NGsDgZHG5r1terH6FnWY8mBIoLNCs943TNQkPJ2ZR6mszDxmh4Y4tGr2 gFaTyH1rdRVdlpBTY5YqXA2xaeWytQpA77S4Mc2oUEEkek1iuSiXH4vdWCHMGusk gbjnEY94tdBQbMwKT26whAXVLLRU2qMtkFiH9ykJ7z7KrT7JmTgMdUrPnvgvpl/U oZast2p8zLDc/8N3wEBLhMbdSbCS1ziRd4IE1jgUEPj0hDpYrd6HzazVVOyVi6A6 YL4G8v16ZyphaQLahnkSUOSsLDqZu6oem/Vgw9g5mwkWjzbKuwwlq5T79zsHWyYR R0PeqwouAZfI/zUrgIvdBQCT5Jb+nkcmPcPk/ftwnhL1gFV9EEEsyzUOuR1XDjbK L28rZfPcLFT/ID6+kMK2bRekSpryETWOGtHvkvupkkBWrNwDgtL/FO47n89tjYA/ FYBL2yXV/8iWyuXvX4iej1NtBj39kcg5wJOH05ooUKcyeeA64M6LkTbTh0OUbUZT x/dO3c1SsAuYutMzzCrClD6mv04ior/WCJrfMOfI2QXJ76IZGHzCx2I9JVq6c+9q oCRphb9eowbRBHxF4PoFcUX89upF5gB765w7quUVhxPE058/AuQTnrMjj2q2Hz0e 8rC57PDHPFaYWbNWJZ4= =D/QB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/9LB3PohW/18UiTdJRRYhUfz-- --===============5391872269536244758== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english --===============5391872269536244758==--
