Well, it works but of all the cool things I did, I'm not that happy with this particular hack, for the reasons mentioned in the comments: 1. The visual switch between buffers - this is something that is done for the human eye, switching back and forth so a computer can do its (supposedly background) job doesn't make sense. 2. The setup of *three* hooks to do one thing: once there is a change, update the variable. > An alternate approach ... The strange (?) thing is, I don't understand any of that. Are we using the same stuff to begin with, or am I just plain stupid? You can check out my Gnus setup (for mails, mailing lists, and Usenet) here [1]. If you can confirm we are using the same stuff I'll make a second attempt to understand your solution :) [1] http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/conf/.emacs-gnus -- Emanuel Berg, programmer-for-rent.
