You'd probably have more luck asking about Gnus on the gnu.emacs.gnus newsgroup than here... > After seeing a post elsewhere about Slashdot, I thought I > would give it another go so I reactivated the lines.

Well, you have > User-Agent: Gnus/5.09 (Gnus v5.9.0) Emacs/21.2 which is the version of Gnus 5.8.8 bundled with FSF Emacs. That's a couple of years old at this point, you might try getting Gnus 5.10.2 (new mostly-stable release of Gnus) from http://www.gnus.org/dist/, unpack the tar file, and set your load-path to point to that directory. In .emacs: (setq load-path (append (list (expand-file-name "~/gnus-5.10.2/lisp")) load-path)) Then when you start Emacs you'll have the newer Gnus (use M-x gnus-version to check). For bonus points, you might also want to add gnus/texi to the front of Info-directory-list to be able to read the manual in Emacs Info. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
