I don't think I'm using score file or anything else.

OK. Our newsmaster said he sent a bug fix or at least a report
on this particular problem. I don't have the fix but I will
test it as soon as you or the newsmaster sends it to me.

At meanwhile I wrote http://www.funet.fi/~kouhia/nntppull.tar.gz
which loads the articles. There is still a bug when the group
is switched, but the first group rec.games.roguelike.adom comes
ok or close.

slrnpull may have another bug as seen here.

Note that nntppull removes ^M characters. The article 115957 may
have "Min^Ming".

slrnpull generated the line change from the void. There is no ^M
as I suspected earlier. What kind of bug it could be?

MIME handling debate

Just out of interest - I don't know if anyone here follows the
comp.mail.misc group, but a debate has started (I'm sure not for the
first time) about MIME and newsreaders.

Message-ID: <Pine.OSX.4.64.0602131112330.503 <at> pangtzu.panda.com>

I send this mail to the slrn-users list to perhaps encourage some
better MIME (esp GPG) support in slrn.

I apologise - the article I quoted was of interest as I mentioned
above, but the thread has degraded into a debate about whether or
not MUA's should be able to read news as well as mail.

piping message thru demime

I'm working on a macro to convert MIME messages not handled
correctly by slrn.

I'm using the perl script 'demime' if anyone knows it.  When I have
the macro working I'll post it so others can use, along with demime
installation instructions etc.

The macro below works:

define pipe_thru_demime ()
{
  pipe_article ("/usr/local/bin/demime - |
    /usr/local/share/vim/vim64/macros/less.sh '+set ft=mail' -");
}

but it just pipes the message to 'less' - what I want is to use
slrn's 'replace_article' function instead, but can't get that
working.

Below is my what I was thinking about doing, but keep getting
"S-Lang Error: Type Mismatch: Unable to typecast Integer_Type to
String_Type" error.

define demime ()
{
  replace_article (system (sprintf ("echo %s |
    /usr/local/bin/demime -", article_as_string ())));
}

Any ideas or pointers in the right direction?

Oh you little beauty!  I got it working with one slight modification
to the above.

'demime' complains if you don't tell it where to output, so I just
changed the second line to :

Might be the seconde issue discussed on

Save the message separately and run demime on it from the command
line.

I guess the error is:

unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''

and 'echo' is the problem.

So, a rather clumsy way of doing this might be to save the
article to a file and run demime on that file:

(I replaced article_as_string with raw_article_as_string)

define demime ()
{

I thought of that, but the message doesn't have multipart/mixed in
it.

Did that, no error.  All ran ok.
