Today I'd like to introduce some new features of the GNUS 3.12. (1) GNUS's windows will be fully configurable. For example, you will be able to display three windows, Newsgroup, Subject, and Article, simultaneously. This feature will be quite useful for slow speed terminal users. (2) Newsgroups will be able to be killed/yanked in the Newsgroup buffer. The killed newsgroups will be deleted from .newsrc, but it will be able to be yanked back afterwards. These commands will also be able to to be used for reordering newsgroups. (3) mhspool.el will be able to coexist with nntp.el or nnspool.el. You won't have to load nntp.el or nnspool.el after using mhspool.el. (4) gnus.el will be divided into three files: gnus.el, gnuspost.el, and gnusmisc.el. The startup will be faster when only reading news. (5) New followup and reply commands will be added. They will insert original message automatically like `F' command of rn. (6) New catch up commands will be added. They will preserve marks. (7) The function gnus-kill will skip any marked articles normally. In addition, internals of GNUS will be changed so that user level extension and customization will be easy or possible. For example, you will be able to define new variable and save it in .newsrc.el. GNUS 3.12 is now in beta-test at Fujitsu laboratories. The next version will be submitted to comp.emacs in May or June. Anyway, I will be off two or three weeks from tomorrow (April 20). So, I won't be able to answer to your questions. Sorry. Masanobu UMEDA umerin@flab.Fujitsu.JUNET umerin%flab.Fujitsu.JUNET@uunet.uu.NET

Absolutely yea to everything except comp.emacs. How about gnu.emacs or gnu.emacs.gnus instead? I don't read comp.emacs as all the gnu users seem to have migrated to gnu.*; at least the more interesting ones. comp.emacs seems to be full of non-gnu emacs's.
