Subject: bug#1974: 23.0.60; gnus writes customize file
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 17:11:45 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49767651.01f6600a.0e58.1883@mx.google.com> (raw)
When using gnus, I find that it tries to write out my customize
preferences whenever I send a message. This is bloody annoying, as
.emacs is version-controlled, and I do not *have* any
customize-managed preferences.

To stop gnus messing with my .emacs, I have the following in .emacs:
| (setq custom-file "~/.emacs.d/custom-sucks.el") ; this is never load-file'd
...but it's still annoying from an aesthetic standpoint.
The custom-sucks.el file written by gnus is:
| (custom-set-variables
| ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
| ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
| ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
| ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
| '(canlock-password "acc239ecbc3348a6f02d22b49ac0743957b28655"))
| (custom-set-faces
| ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
| ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
| ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
| ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
