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? > To automatically wrap lines at 72 chars, put something like that into > your ~/.emacs (or ~/.gnus.el, but message-mode belongs to emacs, so I > have it in its init file): > > (add-hook 'message-mode-hook > (lambda () > (setq fill-column 72) > (turn-on-auto-fill))) 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... > To reformat a paragraph simply hit `M-q'.

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...
