Gnus PGG: Saving cleartext

When I receive a GPG-encrypted message in Gnus and file it away in my
mail archive, I have to enter the GPG passphrase to decrypt it every
single time I want to read it. This is an inconvenience, and if I ever
lose my private key I'll never be able to read the message again. Is
there any way to make Gnus permanently replace the encrypted message
with the decrypted cleartext, and if not, is that functionality on its
way?

Re: Gnus silently fails to send imap messages when smtp blocked

What I do in that situation is ssh into a machine that has a working
SMTP server, and create a tunnel:

,----
| ssh -L 2525:127.0.0.1:25 -N somehost.com
`----

And then reconfigure Gnus to use port 2525 for SMTP.

Re: unreadable message


Hi Reiner!

It happened immediately after the C-c C-c command was issued. I
didn't see anything strange during composing a message.

Yes, it does. Considering accidental archiving to be a likely cause
of the weirdness, what do you think might have triggered it when my
default settings were unchanged (gnus-message-archive-group is nil)
and the other messages were OK?  Typing a wrong command doesn't seem
to be probable.

<joke>
That's all very well, except that some Gnus users may accidentally
lose their lengthy 8-bit character messages, which are, of course,
extremely intelligent and valuable :)
</joke>

Is there a chance to restore the message if it was archived like that?

Remove group name from subject

Hi,

I'm reading an archived mailing list in gnus as news.
Each article subject starts with "[name-of-mailing-list]".

Is it possible not to display this string in subjects?
It clutters the threads view.

error:...out of order

Dear all,

I have put the following in my .gnus.el in order to save sent mail:

(setq gnus-message-archive-method
      '(nnmbox   "archive"
          (nnmbox-mbox-file "~/mail/sent-mail")
          (nnmbox-get-new-mail nil)))
(setq gnus-message-archive-group "sent-mail")

The first time I send a mail from a gnus session, I get the following
error.

    Article mail.misc:1190 out of order

The mail is sent but not saved in the file sent-mail.
Strange enough, if I send again mails, I get no error
and they are saved correctly. What does the error mean and what can I
do to get rid of it ?
Thanks

Re: unreadable message

Hi Reiner!

Sorry, I overlooked your message, thus I am late.

>
> Where do you look at the unreadable, "encrypted" message?

If I am not mistaken all that happened in the very same buffer where I
type my replies. That's ~/News/drafts/drafts/1, or something like
that. That was really strange. There was nothing unusual in my email,
excluding may be a very long url with lots of "%" characters that I
copied from my web browser (FF). Another thing I should probably
mention is that the weirdness seems to occur when emails are rather
long. I do recall this strange encryption happened when the size of my
emails exceeded the average size. 

That's (a small) excerpt to show how it all looks. Not bad, eh ? :)
The origianl cryptic message is may be five times as long as this bit.

Re: unreadable message

Hi, Reiner!

After the weird message was sent, I can look at it in my outbox
(nnml:outbox) only.

DOS mode in Linux Gnus?


I've been a long-term user of Gnus on Windows, and I've just moved back
to Linux.  I copied over my .gnus, parts of my .emacs, and all of my
Mail folder, and it mostly works.

While I can reply to messages just fine, I've noticed two strange
things:

When I compose a new message, it ends up in DOS line ending mode, as
  the mode line says

                                -=(DOS)

  It doesn't seem to do that if I reply to an existing message.

When I read a message, I sometimes (always?) get an error that says

    Args out of range: 0,  31

  and sometimes Gnus displays the message starting at the end rather
  than at the beginning.

  Here's a snippet from *Messages*, which suggests to me that BBDB may
  be near the center of the problem:

    Retrieving newsgroup: gnu.emacs.gnus...
    Fetching headers for gnu.emacs.gnus...done
    Generating summary...done
    Parsing BBDB... (reading...)
    parse-bbdb-read: Args out of range: 0, 31

Gnus PGG : Encrypt to Self

When I send a PGP encrypted email to someone inside Gnus with PGG I
want the email to be sent encrypted to the recipient as well as
myself. This way I can still read the encrypted message later from my
"Sent Mail" box.

It appears that I want to set inside my ~/.gnus:

(setq pgg-default-user-id "my_user <at> my_domain.com")
(setq pgg-encrypt-for-me t)

But that is not doing the trick, all messages are still only encrypted
to the recipient. Any help would be appreciated.

problem archiving

Dear all, 

I try to save outgoing messages in a unix mailbox file ~/mail/sent-mail. I 
have created a nndoc group called nndoc+/Users/harven/mail/sent-mail:sent-mail
Here are my settings in my .gnus.el file:

(setq gnus-message-archive-method '(nnfolder "archive"))
(setq gnus-message-archive-group "nndoc+/Users/harven/mail/sent-mail:sent-mail")

When I send a message, I get the Gcc header
Gcc: nndoc+/Users/yves/mail/sent-mail:sent-mail
but I get the following in the message line:
Couldn't store article in group nndoc+/Users/yves/mail/sent-mail:sent-mail: 

The file sent-mail has all permission set. Yet, the message is not
stored in the mailbox. What I am doing wrong here ?
