Do not let horizontal split be removed

Do not let horizontal split be removed

[Cecil Westerhof]

Because I have quite a wide screen I have split my frame in two windows
with 'C-X 3'. In the left window I have the group buffer and the right
window something else. When I open a folder in the group buffer the
right window disappears and there is only one window left with the
opened folder. Is there a way to circumvent it? So the folder is opened
in the left window and the right window stays and does not change?

Try: (setq gnus-use-full-window nil)
See also: (info "(gnus)Window Layout") <- Type `C-x C-e' here.

Works partly. When opening the mail folder the right window stay, but
when given F to follow up on the e-mail, the right window gets eaten
again. %<[

I will look into the info you pointed me to.

Thanks for the reply.

It is less urgent as I thought. After sending the message the windows
are restored. I still would like to retain the right window when writing
the message, but it is not as bad as I thought.

It is a bit strange. In mail folders the windows are not touched, but in
newsgroups they are destroyed. It looks like software from Redmond. ;-}
