auto-forwarding?

Hi,

How can I make gnus automagically forward some mail (that meets
certain criteria) to some specified address?

~/#.newsrc-dribble# file

Hello,

I always seem to have a ~/#.newsrc-dribble# file hanging around, in
addition to ~/.newsrc-dribble and ~/.newsrc-dribble~.  Is there any
way to make it not appear?  Or if it's necessary to have (or
recommended), then could I have it be named something else (with a
leading ".")?

Thanks,
-Dan

best setup for qmail and gnus

OK, I've been fighting with my old qmail/procmail/gnus configuration
for too long, and now I'm ready to scrap the whole thing and start
anew.  I'd like to get rid of procmail completely.

I want to keep qmail separating my mail --- I get mail addressed to
dave-<something> <at> bfnet.com and qmail is smart enough to separate that
into a Maildir called ~/Mail/≤something>/Maildir.

Next, I want gnus to slurp the mail out of Maildir.  Here is my
current test setup:

(setq mail-sources '((maildir :path "/home/dave/Mail/test/Maildir/new")))
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnml "private"))
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods nil)

Here are my questions:

0.  Can anyone out there using qmail and gnus send me thier config?

1.  What use is the string "private" in the gnus-select-method?

2.  Should I set mail-sources to a function that looks for
    ~/Mail/*/Maildir and returns a list of (maildir) sources with
    their various paths, or is there a better way?

I subscribe to every mailing list with a unique mailaddress. I then
forward the mail from there to one Maildir, so that all mail sits in a
single place. All mail got stamped by qmail with a "Delivered-To:"
header on the way, which I use to split them up again.

Below is an example splitting rule plus the parts of my Gnus setup
relating to mail handling.

pgnus v0.99 message-forwarding gripes

With Matt Pharr's addition of `message-forward-as-mime', pgnus finally
has the ability to forward messages *without* MIME (hooray!).
However, why does it have to be a mutually exclusive operation?  It
would be nice to be able to either forward a message MIME or non-MIME
on the fly.  Unless I'm mistaken, you can currently only go back and
forth by changing the value of `message-forward-as-mime' in .gnus?
This is awkward.  I think there should be 2 separate keystrokes for
this; one to forward a message as MIME and a second to forward a
message as non-MIME.

Also, current non-MIME forwarding simply inserts the message contents
into the buffer without any header or footer.  In days of old, Gnus
added such lines to "encapsulate" the forwarded text.  

------- Forwarded Message

[...]

------- End of Forwarded Message

Most other News and Mail programs do something similar.  I think
re-introducing this behavior into non-MIME message forwarding is the
right thing to do.

nnslashdot: viewing the news article?

Hi,

I have pGnus 0.99 set up to read slashdot comments (which is working
great, btw).  Is there a way to either make pgnus display the actual
news article as an article in gnus or have it launch it in a web
browser?  I glanced through the manual and the code, but I couldn't
find anything obvious.

Isn't that the auto-save file for .newsrc-dribble?  I believe you
would like to have that file when recovering after a crash.

When you press s in the Group window or quit Gnus it should disappear
though.

It invokes an external command, thus the name.

The distinction is unimportant for other "external" things because
they other don't have output, or require a terminal.  But with useful
output, I think it would be perfectly fine to insert it in the current
buffer.  As Bill white said, there is no practical reason not to do
so, at least provided that the "Save..." menu entry et al. still work.

I thought that too.  But isn't the ~ file enough?  I've only had it
crash a couple of times.. is it worth having two backups?  Also- could
I gell gnus (or emacs?) to add a '.' in front of it?  I wouldn't mind
having 20 backups, as long as I didn't have to see them every time I
do an 'ls'.

I once wrote some own functions that did this. It may not be pretty, but
it works... Have a look at http://www.nocrew.org/~turbo/pgp-mime.el

There's much more crap in there to, but you'll get the point :)
