Please > correct it. While you're at it, please also fix the doc string, which (in GNU Emacs 23.0.60.25 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9) of 2008-12-18 on escher) reads: gnus-before-startup-hook is a variable defined in `gnus-start.el'. Its value is nil Documentation: A hook called at before startup. ^^^^^^^^^ This hook is called as the first thing when Gnus is started. Is it `at' or `before'? The latter matches the variable's name, the former seems to better reflect its semantics. Maybe it should have been called gnus-at-startup-hook or -- since there already is a gnus-startup-hook, which runs after gnus-before-startup-hook -- even more accurately gnus-before-startup-hook-hook :-) Steve Berman ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
