[snip] I think I've found a partial solution. This may be of interest to Gnus users, but there is no C content. Bart's articles have "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed". It seems that Gnus has problems with "format=flowed". As a workaround, I'm adding this line to my .emacs : (setq fill-column 100) The default value is 70, which causes Gnus to display flowed text with line wrapping at 70 columns -- and worse, that wrapping is propagated when I quote such text in a followup. I think the interaction between "format=flowed" and hard line breaks is tricky. With this change on my end, I *think* that any reasonably formatted text will not be inappropriately line-wrapped. If there are any replies to this, please consider moving the discussion to gnu.emacs.gnus (I haven't posted there). -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) Keith.S.Thompson+u@gmail.com void Void(void) { Void(); } /* The recursive call of the void */
