But it could have been that it was mail-mode or something with Rmail and -message- in it, just not the mode. Was there a pre-Internet Emacs newsreader? Facts for fans: I heard there were two Gnus: Gnus, and then today's Gnus, ding ("Ding is not Gnus") - very funny (well), but anyway it didn't take so Gnus remained Gnus. -- underground experts united
