The problem is that quoting is harder to do (for inferior newsreaders than Gnus). So it's more or less a common rule to wrap lines statically at 72 columns. > Ok, thanks.

To switch between "Frames" (thats emacsian for Windows in sense of window manager units) use `C-x 5 o'. BTW: I've heard that Aquamacs is not that good. At least it's a de-emacsified emacs. So probably you want to switch to yaced [1]. > 2) If I try open gnus from "yaced emacs" I get this: Oh, I see you tried yaced. :) > Loading help-fns...done > Loading gnus-start...done > Loading gnus-agent...done > Wrote /Users/mac/.newsrc-dribble > Gnus auto-save file exists.

When the error happens, do `M-x gnus-agent-convert-to-compressed-agentview' and restart Gnus. > 3) In mozilla thunderbird I enabled this option "Only show threads > with new postings" so it'll automatically show the whole thread *only > if* there are new replies in that thread.

When you exit Gnus, this file will somehow be merged into .newsrc.eld. If Gnus/Emacs crashes, then it will be used to recover your session.
