Re: Followup without quoting original message?

Hi!

Maybe this entry from manual.txt can help you:

<--->
  7.2.25.  followup

  Default: "f"

  Write a followup on the current article. The following prefix
  arguments are accepted:

      1   Insert all headers.
      2   Insert all headers, but do not modify the article (no quoting,
          don't strip or attach signatures).

Thanks, Thomas, but neither of them do what I would like:  write a
following WITHOUT the text of the previous post(s).  Without in any way
wishing to provoke a flame war but just by way of illustration, gnus
offers the "f" command which does exactly what I want while "F" quotes
the original post(s).  Until now in slrn have had to manually delete the
text of the previous messages to get what I want.

In any decent editor you can create a simple macro to remove the
quoted lines and bind it to a keystroke. 

Maybe it would be a good idea to use vim ? :)

[PATCH] number based group selection


Hello.

This patch adds a new escape sequence "%N" to the
group_display_format option.

This escape sequence is replaced with number of the group.

This number may be used to quickly select a group with one or two
keystrokes. It works the same way as selecting articles using the
numbers in the article list.

To use the feature modify your group_display_format option to
include the "%N" escape sequence. For example like this:

group_display_format 0 "%F %-5u  [%-2N]  %n%60g%d"

When you want to select for example a group numbered "15", just
press "1" and "5". The selection cursor will move to that group.

New hook was added to allow the user to define a macro to
automatically enter the selected group:

public define group_number_hook()
{
    set_prefix_argument (4);  % optional
    call ("select_group");      
}

I have been using the patch with slrn version 0.9.7.4 compiled and

[PATCH] alphabetical group sorting


Hello.

This patch adds alphabetical sorting of groups to the group
list. By default the new function is bound to:

    ESC S

Alphabetical sorting of groups is useful when you connect to a
news server for the first time and are presented with an unsorted
disorganized mess of an active file.

Alphabetical sorting is very simple and has the advantage that the
result reasonably presents the hierarchical structure of the
groups (with a minor exception in case when the group name contains 
the "-" character).

These files were modified:

    group.c
    help.c

The patch is against version 0.9.7.4 and was tested on Linux.

Thanks.

largefile support in slrn?

Currently, slrn-0.9.7.4 gets a SIGSEGV when you try to save articles to
a file over 2 Gb in length.

I've just confirmed that by adding

CFLAGS = -g -O2 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE

to the makefile, this works wonders. I've snipped this from the MPlayer
makefile, by the way.

Would patches to fix this be accepted? If so, I'll check if I can fix
configure. If you (Thomas) know how to code this in an instant, please
let me know and I won't bother.

After adding these flags, I could save a 3.9 Gb file just fine (it's a
DVD image) - now to check if uudecode/uudeview work on it....

Good luck,
Jurriaan

Re: [PATCH] HTML and multipart messages


Hello.

This is a new version of the patch I posted one month ago.

The patch adds support for reasonable inline display of HTML-only
and MIME multi-part messages. Please note that this has nothing to
do with multi-part binary postings.

Detailed description of the patch is available in the initial
message of this thread.

List of changes in this version follows.

*) The code is now much cleaner and better structured.
Particularly the parsing of reformime output was centralized to
one function and the result is now available in a new structure.
Also new functions were added to obtain and free this structure in
order to allow other parts of the application to use the reformime
based MIME parser.

*) The user now can select what application he or she prefers to
to be used to convert HTML content into plain text when a
HTML-only message is displayed.

Sven suggested to use the mailcap facility for this purpose.
I looked into that idea and unfortunately I did not find the
motivation to implement an RFC 1524 compliant parser. RFC 1524 is
the standard where the mailcap facility is defined.

editor command error

Could someone please explain why I get the following error message: The 
editor returned a non-zero status. I get this error message when I have 
set the editor command in .slrnrc

set editor_command "vim '%s' -g %d -tmp"

I also get this message when I quit slrn in a gnome terminal:

GUI cannot be used: Not enabled at compile time
