Well I didn't consider it a bug so I didn't think I needed to make a bug report. By syntax-completion, I mean things such as automatic indentation after a that occurs when in certain programming language major modes. I thought that auto-filling may be part of a general syntax-completion methodology for the major/minor mode used by gnus for message editing. 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. > WRT auto-fill, `C-h i d m Message RET' (Message manual), `i auto-fill' > leads directly to... > ,----[ (info "(message)Various Message Variables") ] > | `message-fill-column' > | Local value for the column beyond which automatic line-wrapping > | should happen for message buffers.

Unless someone told me to read it, how would I know? By the way, is there a PDF of the updated manual for the gnus development version? -- % Randy Yates % "Maybe one day I'll feel her cold embrace, %% Fuquay-Varina, NC % and kiss her interface, %%% 919-577-9882 % til then, I'll leave her alone." %%%% % 'Yours Truly, 2095', *Time*, ELO http://www.digitalsignallabs.com
