Hi Sacha, I love these news roundups - I always find something interesting
in them.

Would it be possible to make the links all on one line, or else change the
spacing a bit? It's a little hard to read when they get wrapped around,
like this -

Best,
Brian

Sacha's URLs are not separated by line-breaks. It must be your view
tool which inserts line-breaks in-between the URLs.

All in all, one of the most disturbing things today is the definitive
fact that the NSA, GCHQ, and many more government organizations are
massively terrorizing the freedom of us and the next generations.

Mmm... I think Org's ASCII export automatically wraps text. I'll try it
with org-ascii-text-width set to a suitably high number next time, and I'll
ignore Gnus' complaining about long lines. Alternatively, maybe you'll
prefer the HTML version at http://sachachua.com/blog/category/emacs-news or
the one that Mailchimp will deliver if you sign up at
http://eepurl.com/bFGma1 . We'll see how things work out next week! =)

Yeah, it's something to do with how org exports to html - I follow the list
on the website, e.g.
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-tangents/2016-01/threads.html#00013
- someday I'll get gnus set up to follow the lists there.

Somewhat relatedly - is there a way to switch to an orgmode-view of a
message in Gnus?

Hmm, I usually just post the ASCII export instead of attaching the Org
Mode bit as well. I'll try attaching an Org Mode buffer to this week's
news and we can see whether that works out for people. =)

Just checked out the latest one you sent. The orgmode version works
quite nicely in Gnus.  Thanks!
