Yes I read Info. That's why I sais I am shy and bashful :-p

In fact I read the part you quoted this afternoon.

I know I need spend more time reading Info other than asking stupid Qs.

I tried twice to report the problem to gmail.emacs.gnus.general and

It does not matter. I turned registry off. I can live with it.

Handa-san, thank you for your help.
