Unless you're kicking Gnus to life every time mail arrives, that's probably not something you want to do. On the other hand, most mail notifier systems, including GNOME's (which I use), provide a facility to execute arbitrary commands when mail arrival is seen. Among the things you could do is to invoke the "play" command with a suitable sound file. > * How I can send a new message in some newsgroup? `C-h m' will show you a buffer's per-mode settings. Look for what's found for the binding on `a' in either *Group* or *Summary*. info://Gnus/Summary+Post+Commands _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
