Hmm. Perhaps `gnus-startup-hook' or `gnus-started-hook' is a possibility. I'm not entirely clear as to the difference between them. I notice also that there's a `gnus-after-getting-new-news-hook' which might offer another way of running my function, rather than wastefully running it whenever display-time updates itself...pleasantly, Gnus has more of an API than it appeared when I started :) _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
