Well I didn't consider it a bug so I didn't think I needed to make a
bug report. 

By syntax-completion, I mean things such as automatic indentation
after a <RET> that occurs when in certain programming language major
modes.

I thought that auto-filling may be part of a general syntax-completion
methodology for the major/minor mode used by gnus for message editing.
Since, as I stated, I don't like any editor I use to insert text
"automagically" for me at any time, I would want this behavior disabled
as well as auto-fill.

Unless someone told me to read it, how would I know? 

By the way, is there a PDF of the updated manual for the gnus
development version?
