I have been using 'swish-e' as a search engine for a couple of years
to provide faster access directly from withing Gnus (via G G) to
previous letters in my groups.
Since I, of late, have been redoing some of my long standing Gnus
configuration options, I thought I'd re-evaluate this as well.
Out of ignorance, I have had `gnus-use-cache' set to `t' for a *long* time.
Rereading the documentation (info), indicates that a value of
`passive' would probably be better. That value will only cache
articles that are explicitly entered.
Some questions:
If I change it to `passive', will
ps FWIW, I used the Gnus version bundled with the ubuntu emacs22
ps package with no problems, and am currently using the ubuntu
ps emacs-snapshot package, which also contains gnus, again with no
ps problems.
Hmmm ... I wonder why I couldn't get it to work? Maybe I had some
legacy config
PS It is hard to believe that Ubuntu doesn't support Emacs22/Gnus ...
that combo contains two of my *most used* applications ...
dak Why don't you just use the Gnus that is part of Emacs 22?
That's what I did the first time ... it didn't work ...
Are you using it? What version is it?
Suddenly, this group stopped receiving new articles:
nntp+news.freshmeat.net:fm.announce
Are others still getting Freshmeat's news feed from within 'gnus'?
Thanks for any ideas,

I have been using 'gnus' for many, many years (yes!).
But today, I entered one of my groups and saw -- for the first time --
this very interesting, symmetric thread pattern:

Once I added /usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/gnus to the front, I
was able to use the 5.9.0 version of 'gnus'. (Note a copy of
that path *is* in the fifth-to-the-last entry above).
rs Note that 5.9 is quite old. I'd recommend to use 5.10.8 (No
rs Gnus is the development version).
OK.

Is this the correct syntax to set 'gnus-auto-select-first' to a function?
(setq gnus-auto-select-first 'gnus-summary-first-unread-subject)
For some reason, point is still always placed at the *first* subject
line in newly entered groups.
Thanks,

rs Probably the latter is not used because you have a separate Gnus
rs package installed, cf. `M-x list-load-path-shadows RET'.
OK, I had time to look into this more ...
It is a load path issue. Here is the value of my default

I recently upgraded my office machine from Ubuntu Breezy to Dapper.
Though I can still read my mail and post, some things don't look right
and have even broken.
Using the `V' command in the *Group* buffer displays:

Is that right?

I've been looking through the documentation, but couldn't find an
answer to a current need ...
I believe there is a way to have 'gnus' position the first unread
article in a summary buffer at the *top* of the window. Currently,
point is positioned at the first article, but it usually ends up

A little bit more about this marks thing ...

I think that *this* is the explanation.
Reading more in 'info' I see:

How do you super automatically mark a letter as expired even

be stopped at the source (even though I *never* read them).

I'm doing some initial testing of the 'browse-url' function.
Here's what I did:
