Otherwise, what's the > point of a variable which should never be changed? Thanks for pointing it out. However, I overlooked that nnkiboze.el, nnslashdot.el, nnultimate.el, and nnwfm.el don't have their own nn*-nov-is-evil. So, maybe we should introduce them and mention in the `Back End Interface' Info section that every back end should provide it. Otherwise, what we should do may be to maintain those back ends so as to always work well with NOV. I vote to the later. Regards,
