Groff-1.18.tar.gz from the ftp server is dated "08 Oct 2002" and we use that version since 27 Nov 2002. On the other hand emacs-21.3.tar.gz from the ftp server is dated "19 Mar 2003". But I agree that there probably wasn't much time to detect the problem. > Current Emacs development sources already set GROFF_NO_SGR=1 when they > run `man'. Good to know (in particular since man is somewhat disfavoured by FSF). Is this built into the emacs binary or just in the one place I found: line 61 of emacs-21.3/lisp/gnus/gnus-uu.el? And would it suffice to modify that file '"groff -mandoc -Tascii %s' => '"GROFF_NO_SGR=1 groff -mandoc -Tascii %s' (and of course recompile gnus-uu.elc)? I certainly want to fix this little problem before we get emacs-21.4 regards Peter Breitenlohner
