I looked up slrn, and interestingly the author seemed to have written it because he found Gnus too slow! I don't know how slrn does it, so I don't know exactly what effect you're after. Are you using threading? I've got `gnus-show-threads' set to t and `gnus-fetch-old-headers' set to 'some, and that shows me just as much context as I want. > Also, my way of working is to write articles, but only post them after > I've reviewed them.

You can use the agent for this. When you're finished with a message, hit "C-c C-j" (gnus-delay-article), and you can choose a future date at which the message will send. It won't actually send at that date unless you run the `gnus-delay-send-queue' command in the *Group* buffer. That might do what you want, though I don't know how easy it is to edit messages once you've added them to the queue. > I've read An Introduction to Emacs Lisp and I really liked it.
