Well, I guess I'm just lazy :-) -- I like it when Gnus is ready in the morning without having to login to the IMAP server. As for shutting it down remotely via emacsclient, does that not require an Emacs with the multi-tty patch? I'm running Emacs 21.4.1. And if I login remotely, then I might as well use that Emacs instance in the first place (except that it might go a little slower) :-) -- Martin Geisler VIFF (Virtual Ideal Functionality Framework) brings easy and efficient SMPC (Secure Multi-Party Computation) to Python.
