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

Peter Jones — 2008-10-06T22:32:23

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.

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

Eeech. Well, sounds like you have a good support service at least. Glad that it worked for you in the end. Phil

Re: How many articles to fetch from a group

harven — 2008-10-01T19:45:52

Hi, you can put in your initfile (setq gnus-large-newsgroup 1000) You will then be prompted when entering a group only if it contains more than a thousand message. You may also try (setq nnmail-expiry-wait 1) By default, expired messages are only deleted after one week; this will shorten that duration to one day. Finally there is the function gnus-summary-expire-articles which deletes all articles that are marked as expirable in the current group. Hope that helps

Re: unreadable message

Reiner Steib — 2008-10-01T17:47:25

Are you saying it happened *during* composing a message, *before* sending it? If so, I have no idea why this might happen. But the excerpt below looks like an archived (outgoing) article: [...] Using "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" (what you called "encrypted") happens when there are many 8bit characters (`mm-qp-or-base64'). There's nothing wrong with that. Bye, Reiner.

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. Jiri Pejchal

error:...out of order

harven — 2008-10-01T11:19:03

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

Alexey Pustyntsev — 2008-10-01T07:02:47

Hi Reiner! Sorry, I overlooked your message, thus I am late. 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.

DOS mode in Linux Gnus?

Bill Harris — 2008-10-01T02:58:13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 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 Parsing BBDB

Re: Gnus PGG : Encrypt to Self

Ryan McGuire — 2008-09-29T17:15:50

Thanks. Amazingly, this did not work either! (Although I confirmed the setting is taking effect when using gpg on the command line) Apparently pgg is overriding this option somewhere. I'm investigating further and will report back with what I find.

Gnus PGG : Encrypt to Self

Ryan McGuire — 2008-09-29T16:25:50

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.

Adam Sjøgren — 2008-09-29T17:47:17

Sorry, my suggestion didn't make sense. I think you need to add something like: encrypt-to yourkey to gpg.conf for that to work. Best regards,

Sure. It's a simple as you wrote, so I'm not sure what your asking about. Bye, Reiner.

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

Ross A. Laird — 2008-09-26T21:28:39

Well, it looks like I may be stuck with this. But it leads me to my next question: can I run gnus remotely from a local machine? Tramp can do this with a few packages, and I'd like to do it with Gnus. The procedure would look like this (ideally): Since smtp is blocked on the local machine, I ssh into my remote server. I run emacs and gnus from there, but (like emacsclient or tramp) I see the application and run it on my local machine. Is that possible? Thanks. Ross

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 ?
