This just bit me as well. It really sucks that the docstring for C-o fails to mention this. Could it be fixed to mention this? It's currently misleading -- I spent a while trying to figure out how to pass an explicit `nil' prefix arg, only to find that it didn't help at all. (Looks like this is refactored in the current trunk?) /* era */ -- If this were a real .signature, it would suck less. Well, maybe not. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
