nndraft:drafts broken?

Is nndraft:drafts broken for anyone but me?

I just pulled from master.  Before updating, I had one article in
nndraft:drafts.  After updating, gnus said there were 8 articles,
but when I selected the group from the summary buffer, nothing
happened except the count changed from 8 to 1.

Then I created another draft, then invoked
`gnus-group-get-new-news', and the summary buffer said there were 8
articles in nndraft:drafts.  I selected the group, and nothing
happened except the count changed from 8 to 2.

Gnus startup problems?

With the latest tweaks to smtpmail.el, it seems like it's pretty easy to
start reading (and sending) mail in Gnus these days.

emacs -Q
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "smtp.gmail.com"))
`M-x gnus'

And then everything should just work.  And it does work for me, but does
it work for you?  From a blank slate?

display mime-part inline

Hello,

Sometimes, I want to display a pdf or ms-word document inline in the
article buffer, even with running X11.

For ms-word, these are my .mailcap entries:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
application/msword;             ooffice %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"
application/msword;             doc2txt.sh %s; copiousoutput
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

When pressing "RET", Gnus uses the first entry to display the
attachment. With "v", I can select "doc2txt.sh %s" and the message
"Displaying doc2txt.sh /tmp/xxxxx...done" appears, but no text in the
article buffer...

Now, I use a workaround:
- comment first line in .mailcap
- run `mailcap-parse-mailcaps'
- uncomment first line in .mailcap
- press "RET" to display the attachment inline

Is there an easier way?

TIA for any help,
--

GCC field with `mail-user-agent' set to 'gnus-user-agent

Hi,

today I tried

  (setq mail-user-agent 'gnus-user-agent)

to avoid the need to start Gnus when I only want to compose some single
mail.  I'm using gnus-message-archive-group being "sent" all the time,
BTW.

If I now do M-x compose-mail without Gnus running, the GCC field is just
"sent", instead of "nnfolder+archive:sent" which I get when I start
composing a message directly form Gnus.  The difference comes from
`gnus-group-prefixed-name', I think.

Ok, no problem so far.  But if I now send the message, I get the
following error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument listp t)

Achey breakey patch

If you're running on Emacs 24, shr from git will no longer work until
you've updated your Emacs 24.  I've introduced some code changes in
url.el (to disable cookies) that need to be in place to make stuff work.

If you're running an earlier version of Emacs, you shouldn't notice any
difference.

Best way to tunnel pop mail through ssh?

Hi, I currently use fetchmail to pull mail off a host with a background
ssh process that procmail then sends to a GNUS-read mail spool.

What's the best way that I could get rid of fetchmail and procmail and
just do this in GNUS v.5.13?

Here's the fetchmailrc.

poll localhost protocol POP3 port 1235 uidl
     username cappuccino password espresso nokeep
     preconnect "tunnel-grind-pop";
mda "procmail -d %T"

Here's the preconnect script

% cat ~/bin/tunnel-grind-pop
ssh -f -L 1235:mail.grind.org:110 cappucino <at> bean.grind.org sleep 60

Could I do something like this with the GNUS 'prescript' function?  I'd
also like the ssh tunnel to shut down when I'm not checking mail.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,

Damon

p.s I'm also really looking forward to the new GNUS multi-smpt feature as right
now I use msmtp with five smtp hosts and I'd love to get those passwords

Fancy-Split / Regexp question

Hello gnu'sers,

I am trying hard to setup a fancy-splitting-rule for a mailing list. The
'tag' in the subject header of the mails I want to catch is '[ab-cd-ef]'
(including the braces) but I don't get it. I tried various versions
without success. What is the correct syntax?

(any ".*\\[ab-cd-ef\\].*" "news.ab-cd-ef")
(any ".*\[ab-cd-ef\].*" "news.ab-cd-ef")
(any ".*[ab-cd-ef].*" "news.ab-cd-ef")

???

Of course, it should NOT match a mail with the following tag in the
subject header '[ab]'.

Thank you in advance!

Best,
Michael

"mark thread read" without penalty?

I often find myself wanting mark everything in a thread as read without having it get
scored down by adaptive scoring; I'm not trying to say "don't show me
future messages;" I just don't want to read the ones I've got.  Is there
a way to do that?

Thanks!

Just a bit confused about following gnus devel branch

I've followed some of the discussion of gnus development plans,
nognus, magnus, but didn't really understand what is happening there. 

I'm left not having a clue of how a gnus users who has tracked
nognus from way back through its other names is to continue tracking
the development branch.

Can someone say definitively, what git command is required now to
start and continue tracking the development branch of gnus?

Re: Time to revisit the message id generation algorithm?

The following message is a courtesy copy of an article

You're right.  However, I do have a real life story of the .fsf exposing
an author years later - ironically on the very day I posted the articlue
on gnu.emacs.gnus.

As it is, I can't recommend people to use Gnus with TOR on usenet.

I'm not disputing the current id generation.  It has worked very well so
far.
