I could, yes. However, I won't. I will describe it with "sufficient" detail.

The truth is, I *thought* I observed some sort of "syntax-completion" action (that wasn't just auto-filling) in message mode once, but I accidently deleted it so quickly I didn't get a chance to see what it was. >> Since, as I stated, I don't like any editor I use to insert text >> "automagically" for me at any time, I would want this behavior disabled >> as well as auto-fill. > > I have enabled it by default because overlong lines are bad netiquette > and most people like to have it on by default.

I'm not questioning the validity of the default value, just asking how to turn it off. >>> When upgrading you should always read GNUS-NEWS aka... >> >> Unless someone told me to read it, how would I know? > > As you already guessed, the behavior changed since 5.10.*, so it's > quite plausible to look under "New Features" in the manual or > something names "*-NEWS" in the distribution tar-ball. Isn't it?
