Thanks, but please add an index entry for this variable.  (Yes, I know
the other variables there aren't indexed, either, but Rome wasn't
built in one day.  Bonus points for adding index entries for the other
variables as well.)

You've got them!  Thanks.

(In the future, please remember to put index entries _before_ any
@item. not after it, so that index search brings you to the @item.  I
fixed that for you this time.)

Thanks for installing/fixing the patch and the hint.  I looked at the
previous @node News Spool in gnus.texi and took over how it was there:
index entries come after the @item.  But fixing gnus.texi in that
respect is currently out of my scope.

Best, Arash

Right, that's a large and boring job.
