looks like both settings are pretty standard: gnus-blocked-images is a variable defined in `gnus-art.el'. Its value is gnus-block-private-groups mm-text-html-renderer is a variable defined in `mm-decode.el'. Its value is shr from memory, i think Thunderbird can "wash" HTML emails and prevent such leaking of user's reading habits but i stopped using for other reasons a quick look at gnus-block-private-groups didn't reveal why it's not behaving as expected guess i'll need to spend a bit more time trying to figure out how to tackle this thanks anyway -- Rgds, Bernardo _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
