M-x apropos RET long.*file.*nam RET will find the variables responsible for this. I think the default setting is questionable, since it does one thing for SysV-ish systems and another thing for BSD-ish systems, and I think people will be surprised that moving from Linux to FreeBSD (say) means they can't use their ~/News directory anymore, unless they frob the variable. At least, Gnus should emit a warning if there are files for the "wrong" convention. Or maybe it should just read both kinds of files and write the right kind of file and delete the wrong kind of file. kai -- ~/.signature is: umop ap!sdn (Frank Nobis)
