Re: What's NOV? Should gnus-nov-is-evil be set to t?

[Allan Gottlieb]

I also am a native English speaker, and agree that text was quite
good.  Here, however, is a slightly edited version of the first part
that may be slightly more clear.

`gnus-nov-is-evil'
     This one must _always_ be `nil' (which is the default).  If, for
     example, you wish to not use NOV (see below) with the `nntp' back
     end (*note Crosspost Handling::), set `nntp-nov-is-evil' to a
     non-`nil' value instead of setting this.  But you normally do not
     need to set `nntp-nov-is-evil' since Gnus by itself will detect
     whether the NNTP server supports NOV.  Anyway, grabbing article
     headers from the NNTP server will not be very fast if you tell
     Gnus not to use NOV.

Thanks for gnus,
