You could run a dedicated Gnus process > if it bothers you. This is what I do. I have two emacs instances running all times, one for email and one for everything else. The second one includes all org related stuff. As I do capture things in org from email (gnus), I do have to make sure that I save my org files frequently. There's no issue in terms of getting stuff lost as org does lock any modified but not saved files and the other emacs will prompt if you try to save something to an org file that has not been saved in other emacs. -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.1.50.1 : using Org-mode version 7.8.09 (release_7.8.09-406-g0233eb @ /home/ucecesf/git/org-mode/lisp/org-install.el)
