9.2 Interactive
===============
‘gnus-novice-user’
If this variable is non-‘nil’, you are either a newcomer to the
World of Usenet, or you are very cautious, which is a nice thing to
be, really. You will be given questions of the type “Are you sure
you want to do this?” before doing anything dangerous. This is ‘t’
by default.
‘gnus-expert-user’
If this variable is non-‘nil’, you will seldom be asked any
questions by Gnus. It will simply assume you know what you’re
doing, no matter how strange. For example, quitting Gnus, exiting
a group without an update, catching up with a group, deleting
expired articles, and replying by mail to a news message will not
require confirmation.
‘gnus-interactive-catchup’
Require confirmation before catching up a group if non-‘nil’. It
is ‘t’ by default.
‘gnus-interactive-exit’
If non-‘nil’, require a confirmation when exiting Gnus. If
‘quiet’, update any active summary buffers automatically without
querying. The default value is ‘t’.
