Comments on GNUS (it may have just been an oversight that my digging through all the code missed turning up the answer to any or all of these questions): -- mhspool is provided, I use Brian Reid's mh package for 99% of my mail transactions and rmail is broken here, though smail will supposedly work. I just mailed a guy a message about his 24 line .signature earlier today and haven't gotten a failure message yet, but then again he never wrote back to flame me. I would like to use mh-smail rather than smail to shuck off my replies to articles. I would rather not have to edit gnus.el to do it, but add it as a variable or hook. I don't like to make hardcode changes to someone elses hardcode and some other people ar rpi that would get this from me that prefer smail might not appreciate the mh-smail. Is there a quick and easy way to do this? -- I tossed up a very quick elisp routine that converts rn KILL files to GNUS KILL files. It really wasn't hard at all; an enhancement for me to do tomorrow will be to add routines for it to search down hierarchal paths for the rn kill files and return non-hierarchal kill files. I'll post this soon; I'd like to see anyone else's conversion programmes though if they exist. -- bursting Peter Neumann's Risks Digest didn't work. What is the format problem? -- (an inews question) I ended up having to uncomment the .signature code because inews wasn't automatically appending .signatures. Is my inews broken? For reference: You're running GNUS 3.10 with NNTP 3.7 (Well, I don't know what -you're- running, but this is what I got from (insert (gnus-version))) Thanks in advance for any help which you might provide.
