Hehe. Thanks :-)

I looked at some of it and will look at it again later. I can now do the most basic things...

It doesn't annoy me and nobody complained until now. Is it a problem? Because I assumed that most usenet-clients just wrap long lines so they don't see any problem at all?

Ok, thanks. Suppose I want to outcomment something, should I then use ";;" in front of each line? I saw something about ";;" in the beginning of some lines...

Ok, thanks. I'll probably need that.

-snip (got it)-
My next problems are for instance:
1) Currently I use this "aquamacs emacs" since it was shipped with auctex and previewtex and I don't know how to setup that from a "clean emacs". So it constantly opens stupid windows that I can't "C-x o" between.... I have to mouse-click them to select them... Annoying.
2) If I try open gnus from "yaced emacs" I get this:
Loading help-fns...done
Loading gnus-start...done
Loading gnus-agent...done
Wrote /Users/mac/.newsrc-dribble
Gnus auto-save file exists. Do you want to read it? (y or n)
Reading /Users/mac/.newsrc.eld...
Reading active file from 192.168.1.134 via nntp...
Loading timezone...done
No new newsgroups
Checking new news...
byte-code: gnus-agent-read-agentview no longer supports version 1. Stop gnus, manually evaluate gnus-agent-convert-to-compressed-agentview, then restart gnus.
Anyone know what that's about?
3) In mozilla thunderbird I enabled this option "Only show threads with new postings" so it'll automatically show the whole thread *only if* there are new replies in that thread. Threads where everything is read won't be shown...
This is really nice - is it possible to do something with gnus? Sometimes I used this "A T"-thing to see old posts in the current thread...
4) What's this ~/.newsrc-dribble file doing?
That was just what I could think of now...
Best regards
Martin Jørgensen
