If I `G m diary RET nndiary RET' then I get an nndiary group, and as you say, `C-u a' opens a message mode buffer, and if I put something in the To header, the message is sent to that recipient. So the documentation here is wrong -- or there's a bug, and `C-u a' is supposed to not send anything. > Instead, one must use the "S i" key to force composing a news post in > order to 'request-post' to the nndiary group. Hm. The "S i" key? That's not bound in my Group buffer. --=20 (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
