history in *shell* 
  I really like working in *shell* (M-x shell). I use it constantly, but one minor annoyance with it is the way it lumps everything into its history, including commands that were executed within some other readline-enabled program (e.g. the python interpreter, the perl debugger, etc.) Is there a way to customize this behavior so that histories are... more »

Timeout for reading file across network

emacs (gtk version) and geometry weirdness 
  Emacs's geometry behaves very weirdly if I'm using the GTK version. 1. When I run emacs with --geometry 80x45, I get one of two geometries at random (80x45 and 80x43). I just tried this 15 times in a row, and got a 7-8 breakup. I have the same setting in my .Xresources. I have menu-bar turned on. I'm sure I did not encounter this problem when the... more »

Alternatives to Gnus 
  Hello, After more than 2 years of gnus daily usage, I've finally decided to give up :(: too much pain, too much trouble, too much complex, too slow and too much wasted time. Gnus has definitively not been designed for me. So I'd like to find something else to use (and I'm sure it should exist because I'm pretty convinced that I'm not the only one in this... more »
