Hi folks, it's me. Sincerest apologies for all of those garbaged articles that came before this one. I can't seem to get them cancelled, since their headers are junque. I have gone back to using rn (ARRRRRGGH) for the purpose of posting this one. Ok, here is the question(somewhat wordy): Whenever I post news with GNUS (but not with rn) my article is munched in a very annoying way. The first manifestation was that an article simply posted with the 'a' command and nothing else would have the first few lines of text all run together. I posted to this group and was told to M-x auto-fill-mode. I did this, and the running-together behavior stopped, but now the first line or so gets stuck somewhere in the header (Distribution on a new post, References on a follow-up post), the next couple of lines get eaten, then the rest of the message is fine. SO: the questions (less wordy): a) Can anyone knowledgable of the innards of gnus-post-foo tell me what might be going on in there to garble my message? Can you suggest a fix? b) My mini-inews doesn't like the in-reply-to line at the top of the header for some odd reason. Is there any way to customize gnus to put that line at the end of the header or some other appropriate place, so inews will take the message? So far I've had to move that line myself, but I'd like to set it up so that other users will not have to pull their hair out every time they want to post with GNUS. Any help would be appreciated, and I think Email is probably the way to reply to this... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Thomas Russo | russo@chaos.utexas.edu | |Center for Nonlinear Dynamics, University of Texas at Austin | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+
