Some of us can't see color let alone anything else. Fortunately I have a backup up my .emacs file in the highly probable event I manage to make a real mess of it. Some of us believe it or not are using computers without a mouse or screen just running off the screen reader. This is why I had done several hand edits of my .emacs file to get it where it is now. Earlier I tried using newsticker with the emacs-git version and found no support for configuration of that program in the info pages outside of M-x customize group newsticker. When I opened that group, I couldn't figure out if I wanted to add the emacsworld feed how to do it or where to do it. No help from google on this one either. An iPhone app to date rssrunner was the only news reader able to add emacsworld to it and bring up articles. The snownews and canto newsreaders both failed so I got curious about newsticker and that's what ran me into all of these neat discoveries. Has emacs got any "don't leave home without them" settings for totally blind users that are touch typists? jude
