Re: Request: ding subscribers' group parameter

Go back through the last, say, 5000 ding postings.  Determine how many
of them were from people not subscribers to the list.  I'll be alarmed
if the number is even in two digits -- yes, sure, it happens, once
every several geological epochs.

Compare that vanishingly small number to e.g. the number of duplicates
I've seen in just the last couple weeks, 7 of them today /alone/.

Can you really call this "manual-recommended"? Yes, it is in the
manual but it is for the express purposes of collecting all duplicate
mail in a separate folder. If you have a split rule for the ding list
and you let email fall through (i.e. not have the duplicate rule)
would not all the ding duplicates land up in the ding folder?

Large *.pif base64 attachments and Gnus...

Hi,

you probably see the same behaviour of our Outlook colleges sending us big
.doc.pif files ;-) I'm trying to save them to a file with `o' on the MIME
button. It is saved to file I specify, but it is not decoded. It is saved
as raw base64 data, no error message can be seen, no beep for normal
user. Only this can be seen in *Messages*:

Error while decoding: (error Invalid base64 data)
Wrote /tmp/tlm-doc.zip.pif

I can provide sample of course, but I think you have already received many
of them ;-)

I think that: 1. we should clearly warn user about base64 error.
              2. not save anything if there is an error.

What do you think?

yes, I have this implemented, but I do not think that this should be added
to Gnus as is, because it will not work for other Emacs flavors. But here
it is (maybe I should also add help-echo property there):

Nice ! Please people, also make an effort to properly document this kind of
stuff. It's a nightmare to have the doc up to date otherwise. Thanks!

	I guess nndiary can do all that. You just have to consider that the
dates of your diary entries represent priorities, like, the farthest date, the
lowest priority or so.

Up to now, the convention has been that special group parameters get
short names, and the gnus-foo names have just been local variables.

How about renaming that parameter to `post-method' and documenting it
along with all the other group parameters?
