The trouble that I found with gnus the last time that I used it was that when it wa doing something, it locked your emacs up. Which is a pain if you were trying to edit some perl code at the same time. Any volunteers for writing a multi-threaded emacs? ;-) -Dom -- | Semantico: creators of major online resources | | URL: http://www.semantico.com/ | | Tel: +44 (1273) 722222 | | Address: 33 Bond St., Brighton, Sussex, BN1 1RD, UK. |
