When you hit apply and save, the setting was saved to your .emacs file, presumably. Look for the `custom-set-variables' section in that file and see what it saved, and put that in your other startup file. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/ ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
