Ok then, the following kludge seems to work on 5.8.7 at least: (add-hook 'gnus-summary-generate-hook (lambda () (if (string-match "alt\\.ascii-art" gnus-current-score-file) ;; ascii-art value (setq gnus-treat-emphasize nil) ;; normal value (I presume this is what you normally use, ;; though I always have it disabled myself :-)) (setq gnus-treat-emphasize t)))) That only deals with *this* _sort_ of /stuff/ though. Dealing with gnus-button-alist is more difficult, since you'd really have to save/restore it. Let me know if you need that fixed too, I can probably cruft something up. :-) I notice you said "In a way..." - are there any other problems you were still having, after both those setq's I mentioned? Perhaps the smiley thing you asked about on gnu.emacs.gnus? -Rus.

Yup. seems like I'm too dumb ;-) - or too new to Xemacs/Gnus, anyway... > Hmm. Ok then, the following kludge seems to work on 5.8.7 at least: [...] Mhm. Although I seem to have thoroughly fucked up my Xemacs installation... the kind of crap that that happens when you play with su - and rm -r in your homedir around 0300h... Last backup was from _before_ replacing my antique Gnu-Emacs with a fairly recent Version of XEmacs, obviously... %@ > I notice you said "In a way..." - are there any other problems you > were still having, after both those setq's I mentioned? Perhaps the > smiley thing you asked about on gnu.emacs.gnus? Mainly that, yes. Seems to be a seperate Package, and not too well documented, either - oh, well! I wanted bells and whistles, now I got 'em... And Autofill, but I finally remembered where I'd set that and switched it back off. Rendered a lot of "regular postings unreadable, too. Well - thanks for your help, anyway! I'll keep your suggestions in mind and maybe work on it when I'm a little more familiar with Emacs. For the time being, it's back to Pan for ascii-art. Looks better in a fairly large tt-font, too! ;-) Oh, yeah! f'up2 /me, 'cause we're really getting OT here!
