[So Gnus is not started]. Any idea for that? Since I live in Emacs, I have never encountered this problem. I will take a look at it and get back to you. However, I highly recommend that you put: ,---- | emacs --daemon `---- in your "~/.profile". This will start the emacs server once in the background when you login. You can subsequently connect to it by just using emacsclient. Charles -- "Besides, I think [Slackware] sounds better than 'Microsoft,' don't you?" (By Patrick Volkerding)
