No, like I said, I can't and I haven't tried because there are too many variables - the mail files, the metadata files, and what you see in all the Gnus buffers... >> I always thought that happened because the >> .newsrc.eld file wasn't saved, so sometimes the >> changes would vanish when you terminate Emacs. > > Do you quit Gnus before stopping Emacs? No, I always assumed Emacs would tell Gnus to save and terminate. Man, come to think of it, I don't even stop Emacs, I run a shell command from Emacs (shutdown) to shut down the whole system. Perhaps that's why! >> I would think it best for the .newsrc.eld be saved >> every time there is a change > > (If you want to maximize disk-I/O :-)) Yeah, but that's cool, I don't do that many things with that many posts anyway. And computers including the lowest-level hardware are quick these days. >> (setq gnus-use-dribble-file nil) > > You have explicitly turned off Gnus' defence against > crashes and unforseen events!

My Debian is like a Swiss watch - and I'm not talking those knockoffs sold by gorgeous Thai wenches here! -- underground experts united _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
