Alternatively, there is such an option in emacs/gnus menu. When it comes to posting messages, I created a ~/.gnus file and included the following: (setq gnus-posting-styles '((".*" ;; (address "email@gomain.com") (organization "blahblah") (signature-file "~/.gnus-sig") )) ) ;; my mail headers - if not using posting styles (setq user-full-name ".Martin.") (setq user-mail-address "blahblah@gmail.com") (setq gnus-check-new-newsgroups nil gnus-read-active-file nil gnus-nov-is-evil nil) ;; don't ask how many email to dowload (setq gnus-large-newsgroup 'nil) I've still got some question that I haven't found any answer. I guess I'll post them in separate posts -- regards .Martin.
