Nagle) Organization: Stanford University Sender: info-gnu-emacs-request@prep.ai.mit.edu Must we have the commercial in all news articles generated with GNU EMACS? I'm referring, of course, to lines such as: Posting-Front-End: GNU Emacs 18.47.9 of Mon Mar 21 1988 on ruuinf (hcx/ux) Somehow this information does not seem to be of great value to the recipients. Did somebody leave a debugging switch on? John Nagle The current version of GNU Emacs (18.51) no longer puts this line out as a default action. You can fix lisp/rnewspost.el, function news-setup, and re-byte-compile, if you don't wish to upgrade at this time. enjoy -len
