Most unfortunate that people want it. I, reject suggestion that I or people asking for help should use Thunderbird (worse becuase of bugs and the one called gui to top them off;) and I am replying. I learned enough lisp to make emacs send from any e-address I say; then yet another built-in forced/redundant variable ruined it. Lisp makes clear that the 3 variables controlling news dling are unclear (or I must learn more, or "interface is no better than I would make" and maybe different per system.) The gnus-unplugged command to enable a server / group in some window works not in slackware; is this a variant undocumented? Sorry for no reply to who wrote me, consequential to using trash & web mailers (I always preferred rmail, 'til it destroyed mail:) I do not even know this is the right listserv. You know I could say xemacs for friends, but it is not gnu, and neither is the os (never mind learning it...) those friends use, so... I still post this about emacs & xemacs. from David
