   1)	Instead of hard-coding a "@" to be inserted before a user's
	   domain name, how about a 'defvar':

	   This allows people at a site like mine to end up with valid
	   addresses.  My domain name is ...

		   %fx.com@ames.arc.nasa.gov

The next version of GNUS will have new variable gnus-user-login-name.
If you set "USER%fx.com" to the variable, set "ames.arc.nasa.gov" to
DOMAINNAME or gnus-your-domain, and set t to gnus-use-generic-from,
you could obtain:

	USER%fx.com@ames.arc.nasa.gov

Of course, setting "USER%fx.com" to USER environment variable will get
the same result in GNUS 3.8.

   2)	When in auto-select mode, it sometimes takes a long time for
	   GNUS to come back with the "Retrieving ..." message if the
	   system load is high and the following newsgroup is large.
	   This causes me to sometimes forget whether I need to hit
	   'n' a second time.

This will be included in the next release.
