Yes, but I was wondering more if there were any guidelines how to
interact in this very group. Like how much context to provide, and
stuff like that. If you use some special notation to highlight
commands. Etc.

Yes.

Yes, in X and Iceweasel it works as I try to set it up, in w3m. I
don't know how to test for it in the console? showkey (in the console)
shows both (but separately), if that's a clue.

The same: TAB.

Yes.

OK, so that's consistent, because neither works.

Those won't work either. But thanks for a gutsy effort.

Let's hope so :)
FYI, you also emailed me your answer. I don't know if that is custom
(or even a slip) but anyway, it is not needed as I am happy to use
Gnus for Usenet.
