- This is a KILL file problem. The rn KILL file has an initial
- line as follows:
-
- THRU 47394
-
- This tells the KILL file where to start analyzing. When you
- enter gnus, it sees the file and tries to analyze it.
-
- Put the following in your .emacs
-
- (setq gnus-kill-file-name "KILL.gnus")
-
- This will keep the rn and gnus KILL files separate and let you
- run both.
