We don't have NNTP (I really don't know what it is). How can I use Gnus to do this or should I use Gnews or does Gnews have the same problem. I am no lisp hacker. If you can tell me exactly what variables to change, I would be grateful. In GNUS, set the variable gnus-nntp-service to nil and the variable gnus-nntp-server to your local host name in .emacs as follows: (setq gnus-nntp-service nil) (setq gnus-nntp-server "unh") ;Right? I currently use vnews to read news. I tried to use the rnews functions within Emacs but it was missing the "pretend I didn't read this article" command which I use heavily. GNUS has commands for marking articles as unread, which you expect. -- Masanobu UMEDA umerin@flab.Fujitsu.JUNET umerin%flab.Fujitsu.JUNET@uunet.uu.NET
