Thank you for this---I've read, or tried to, the page you've referenced, though it's far over my head. I put the code above into my .gnus.el file. However, I really am in the dark! For instance, is the `...' in the second line of that code an ellipsis telling me to put my own items in there, or is it active code that should be preserved? Do I really use "kevin-spamassassin" or am I to change that to something that has to do with my own system? At present, the code isn't doing anything as far as I can tell. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
