Subject: Gnus tries to change my .emacs
Date: Fri, 05 Mar 2010 13:15:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <873a0fx8ua.fsf@linux-lqcw.site> (raw)

I have a system wide .emacs and of course it is write protected.
Sometimes when I send an e-mail Gnus tries to change the .emacs. I get a
message that the file is write protected and when I answer on the
question if it has to be changed no, then my e-mail is not send. When I
then immediately try to send it again, there is no problem.

Why is Gnus trying to write to my .emacs? As I understood it, this
should not be the case.
