Instantly the HTML washing works! As for the absence of a .gnus file: presumably one has to create this oneself. Certainly Gnus reads the .gnus file I created which only currently has one line: (setq fred 'joe) Well, obviously that was just for testing purposes. Perhaps the reason that my gnus variables all seem to be in .emacs and not in .gnus is that I have tended to use the "customization" interface (e.g. by pressing 'G c' in the Group buffer) to make changes, rather than editing the .gnus file directly. I still haven't solved my other problem, but I'll post to the relevant thread. Thanks for your help. David
