External viewers for MIME parts?

Angel de Vicente — 2012-05-18T09:28:54

Hi,

I don't know exactly when this started, but when I receive a mail with a
PDF or JPG attachment, now I get undesired behaviour. Before, when I
opened a PDF attachment (just by pressing RET), evince would open and
show it nicely to me. For a JPEG attachment, eog would do its thing (I'm
in a Ubuntu 11.10 box, with gnus v.5.13).

Now for a PDF, it is shown inline (translated by pdftotext), and for a
JPEG image, ImageMagick is opened (though I cannot see the image). I
would like to go back to the previous behaviour. I looked in the MIME
documentation section of the Gnus manual, but of all the variables
mentioned, I could not see anyone having a value of application/pdf or
image/jpeg. I tried to modify the .mailcap file, but didn't get any
positive results.

I guess I did configure it properly at some point, but some updates
might have broken something, and I forgot what I have to customize.  Any
help on how to configure this properly?

Thanks,

expunge mails

Petro Khoroshyy — 2012-05-14T20:13:51

Hi list.
I am very ashamed, but I cannot figure out how to expunge expired mails
from imap account. Some time ago I have seen  a command to do it, but
cannot remember it now.
Thank you in advance.
Petro.

Thank you.

ubuntu 12.4 and git gnus

George McNinch — 2012-05-12T18:11:42

Hi all,

I (perhaps foolishly) just upgrade my Ubuntu to the pangolin
version. And now my git gnus is broken. 

I'm using the "emacs-snapshot" from 

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/cassou/emacs/ubuntu precise main

and emacs24 otherwise seems to work fine.

running make in the gnus directory, I get

,----
| ...
| ...
| URLDIR="/usr/share/emacs/23.2/lisp/url/" W3DIR="no" lispdir="/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/gnus" srcdir=. emacs -batch -q -no-site-file -l ./dgnushack.el -f dgnushack-compile
| No w3: Cannot open load file 
| No MH variant found on the system
| Wrote assistant.elc
| Wrote auth-source.elc
| Wrote binhex.elc
| Wrote canlock.elc
| Wrote color.elc
| Wrote compface.elc
`----

and then the compilation freezes (while byte-compling "deuglify.el",
which requires 'gnus-art).

If I start emacs, visit (say) the gnus-art.el file, and M-x eval-buffer,
emacs freezes. (C-g doesn't even work -- I have to kill the emacs job).

Here is another data point. Apparently there are some issues related to
pycurl and gnutls (I didn't really understand what I read). [e.g.
the ubuntu utility

  add-apt-repository 

wasn't working. I followed a suggestion to fix this by compiling pycurl
against openssl rather than gnutls).

Since I know that in various ways gnus uses gnutls, it made me wonder if
this is related.

Anyone know anything about this/these issues? any suggestions?

Thanks!

best,
george

Coloring pieces of messages in Gnus

Peter Anderson — 2012-05-11T17:23:03

I'm a noob.  I've looked around and think I've found parts of the answer
but can't find any good examples.

I want to use a regex to change the color of some aspects of articles.
I have a group called git-commit.  For articles in that group I would
like any line that starts with "---" to be red and any line that starts
with "+++" to be green. (the whole line)

Another group has Help-desk tickets in it and it will have line similar
to:

   blah blah blah Assigned: Peter

I want to be able to make the word following "Assigned:" (in this case
"Peter") stand out by changing its color or some attribute.

I think I need to define a function and then use gnus-part-display-hook
but the syntax of it all has eluded me so far.

Thanks so much,

Peter

BBDB 3

Sebastien Vauban — 2012-05-10T09:21:52

Hello,

With BBDB 3, I've lost the following feature:

    For records which have `gnus-public' set, the fancy splitting does not
    work anymore like it did.

Example:

With the following entries in BBDB...

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
["John" "Doe" nil ("Doe John") ("ABC") (["Mobile" "+32 479-35.55.33"]) nil ("john-GXcTff7tL0M< at >public.gmane.org") ((creation-date . "2004-06-11") (timestamp . "2011-09-30") (gnus-private . "INBOX.work") (mailer . "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:8.0) Gecko/20111105 Thunderbird/8.0") (bank . "101-3841789-33")) nil]

["proj" "mailing list" nil ("general project reviews list") nil nil nil ("proj-GXcTff7tL0M< at >public.gmane.org") ((creation-date . "2006-11-23") (timestamp . "2006-11-27") (gnus-public . "INBOX.proj .*")) nil]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

When my colleague John sends me an email (in To or Cc), it automagically goes
to my folder `INBOX.work'.

If he sends an email to the mailing list `proj-GXcTff7tL0M< at >public.gmane.org', thanks to the
`gnus-public' specification, it went to `INBOX.proj'.

Now, since BBDB 3, that last rule is not followed anymore: all mails sent by
John go to `INBOX.work'.

Any idea on how to solve this?

Best regards,
  Seb

Gnus parses authinfo even if no server require that

XeCycle — 2012-05-09T04:36:31

I recently have my ~/.authinfo GPG-encrypted, and Gnus keeps
asking me to decrypt that on startup.  But none of my select
methods require authentication --- one is nnml, which I
apparently didn't encrypt; another is leafnode local server, nor
does it require authentication.

Wondering what's wrong here, I set nntp-authinfo-file for
localhost to "/dev/null", but it still asks me for a password.

The authinfo file contains only one line, used to send my mail.

Like a bug?

Hi List, 

When I attempt to use a Google nnweb group, I get the following:


Gmane searching works perfectly.  I just wanted to know if anyone else
is having this problem (Google captcha nastiness, perhaps?) before I
file a bug.

gnus to activate links

prad — 2012-05-04T18:16:42

i am unclear on how to get gnus to activate hyperlinks - some times it
happens (as with emails and gmane posts), sometimes it doesn't (as with
an rss feed i'm using).

i can always go view in a browser, but it would be nice if i didn't have
to.

what can i do to always have links activated?

Widows - Fetchmail type utility

Slackrat — 2012-05-03T15:58:41

For the time being I am compelled to  use Windows in an Internet Cafe
environment.

Is there a utility to POP mail off servers apart from gnus itself which
I am using and apart  from installing Cygwin

'=> gmane.emacs.help' as sender?

Thorsten Jolitz — 2012-05-03T10:25:40

Hi List, 
I changed my email address to a more serious one, and now want to adapt
  my subscriptions to this fact. 

I did all my mailing list subscriptions with my old email via gmane
  (just sending a first post, then replying to the authorisation mail),
  and it worked (the sender was shown as configured in gmail). Now I
  tried the same with my new email address, but instead of showing
  'first name' 'last name' as sender (like configured in gmail) I get this:

,--------------------------------------------
| [  31: => gmane.emacs.help    ] subject ...
`--------------------------------------------

I tried to fix that by going to the web interfaces of some of the
  mailing list (like emacs.help e.g.) and subscribing there officially.
  Then I unsubscribed and re-subscribed via gnus/gmane. But to no avail,
  still gmane.emacs.help as sender (and nobody replying anymore to my
  posts).

How do I get rid of this?

Strange indentation in message-mode

Thorsten Jolitz — 2012-05-03T10:33:59

Hi List, 
after a lot of emacs configuration tweaking I suddenly have some strange
      formatting issues in message-mode. After the first line in a
      paragraph, all the next lines are automagically indented (without
      me doing anything about it). Just like in this email. 

The mode line says:

,------------------------------------------------
| Message MML AC OrgTbl OrgStruct yas Abbrev Fill

and I deactivated OrgTbl and then OrgStruct, but the problem did not go
    away. When I deactivate auto-fill-mode, the lines get very long, and
    when I press M-q the paragraphs get filled correctly. But with
    auto-fill-mode activated, M-q does not undo the strange indentation. 

Any idea what could be the problem?

filter on two parameters at once?

moabi2000 — 2012-05-02T17:03:37

I have a lot of mail in my inbox. I do any complicated searches with
notmuch, but sometimes I want to quickly pull up a recently read message
that has been hidden.

Doing / o and then / a is very slow (the / o bit).

Doing / t -1 doesn't show hidden messages and doing / o afterwards seems to
be just as slow as doing it before the /t -1

Is there a quicker way?

Cheers

"Cannot read active file from nntp server"

Miguel Guedes — 2012-05-02T09:01:52

Hello,

I can't get emacs gnus to list any newsgroups when I fire it up.

This is what I do:

M-x gnus
<enter username when asked>
<enter password when asked>

Then, when it loads up, I get a blank *Group* screen and the "No more 
unread newsgroups" message.

Then attempting to retrieve the full group list from the server using A 
A results in the error message "Cannot read active file from nntp server".

The only settings I added to my .emacs file are:

;; Setup NNTP newsgroups
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "eunews.blocknews.net"))
(setq gnus-read-active-file nil)

Email/News markup

Dan Espen — 2012-04-25T20:45:53

Every once in a while, I like to
_underline_ parts of an email or post.

(If you don't see the word "underline" underlined,
the rest of this won't make sense.)

For me, when I put a single underscore before and after a word,
that word displays as underlined when I view the sent email or post.

What I don't understand is that *bold* is supposed to be achieved by
using asterisks instead of underlines.  When I use asterisks that
way, sure enough, the word in question is displayed as bold.  But I
see the asterisks too.

When I do the same with underlines, I don't see extra underlines before
and after the word.

Is the problem on my end or is this inconsistency done on purpose?

Once more:

_underlined_ - okay
_bold_       - extra asterisks
/italic/     - done with slashes (doesn't work)

syncing newsrc across one offlinemap and one nnimap computer

Kevin Brubeck Unhammer — 2012-04-25T08:55:41

Hi,

I use offlineimap with gnus on my computers, but would like to switch to
nnimap on one of them. I sync the marks and newsrc files using unison so
that I don't have to doubly mark-as-read for the news groups.

I set up offlineimap to rename some groups so 'INBOX.work became just
'work' etc., while 'INBOX' stayed 'INBOX'. When I tried setting up
nnimap on the one computer, just switching the select method from
localhost to the remote, it seemed to magically work with the 'INBOX'
folder, it was already subscribed, and there was no duplicate 'INBOX'.

But the other folders were of course not subscribed. Now I can subscribe
to 'INBOX.work', but then my *Group* buffer will show something like

*: work
3: INBOX.work

(at least if I flagged anything). Is it possible to do some renaming to
trick Gnus into thinking they're the same, so that syncing
marks/newsrecs won't upset anything, and the *Group* buffer just shows
'work'?

(I realise that it's pointless to sync marks when I use IMAP, but I
never found a way to _only_ sync the news marks and not the email ones.)


best regards,
Kevin Brubeck Unhammer

gnus nnmh filename display

Dan Espen — 2012-04-25T00:31:29

I'm using Gnus to read mail and store my mail in "MH" format.

To use MH you really do need to know the filename for a message
(which is a number).
I'd like the nnmh folder summary to display the filename but I have no
clue how to do that.

Anyone have any hints?

I believe most MH users will tell you that GNUS should do this
by default.

Subscribing and unsubscribing via Gmane

Thorsten — 2012-04-24T15:24:51

Hi List, 
this might a bit OT (and a rather newbie question):

I subscribed to a dozen mostly Emacs related mailing-lists through
gmane, i.e. by simply sending a first mail from gnus to the mailing list
and responding to the gmane authorization message within a week. 

Now I decided that I would like to use a more 'serious' email for all of
these groups and want to unsubscibe with my old email and subscribe with
my new one. 

And gnus should be aware of the change, i.e. use my new email
automatically for all posts I send to the mailing lists. 

Is there a simple way to do this from gnus like sending mails with 'Subject:
unsubscribe' from my old mail to all mailing-list and then do my next
postings with my new email, authorize, and gnus will know about the change?

multiple gmail accounts: smtp and expiry

George McNinch — 2012-04-14T17:36:32

Hi,

To the extent that this is useful, I thought I'd share some
idea(s)/solution(s) to issues related to smtp and expiry for multiple
gmail accounts in gnus.

* expiry

I want expired mail from a gmail account to expire to the "correct"
[GMail]/Trash folder(s) for the account.  After some pondering, the
following seems to work. I'd be interested in alternate suggestions,
though.

Suppose that I have two gnus imap groups corresponding to gmail
accounts:

nnimap+gmail1
nnimap+gmail2

Use the following to create the per-group "expiry targets".

;----------------------------------------
 (setq gm-gmail1-expiry-targets
       (list (from ".*" "nnimap+gmail1:[Gmail]/Trash"))
 
 (setq gm-gmail2-expiry-targets
       (list (from ".*" "nnimap+gmail2:[Gmail]/Trash"))
       
 (defun gm-gmail1-expiry-target-function (group)
   (setq nnmail-fancy-expiry-targets gm-gmail1-expiry-targets)
   (nnmail-fancy-expiry-target group))

 (defun gm-gmail2-expiry-target-function (group)
   (setq nnmail-fancy-expiry-targets gm-gmail2-expiry-targets)
   (nnmail-fancy-expiry-target group))
;----------------------------------------

Now use gnus-parameters (or group parameters, or topic parameters)
to connect the expiry functions:

;----------------------------------------
 (setq gnus-parameters
  '(
    ("nnimap\\+gmail1.*"
     (expiry-target . gm-gmail1-expiry-target-function)
     )
    ("nnimap\\+gmail2.*"
     (expiry-target . gm-gmail2-expiry-target-function)
     )
 ))
;----------------------------------------


I guess my feeling is that it might be better (??!) if
nnmail-fancy-expiry-target(s) could also qualify expiry targets based on
the value of group, rather than just based data found in the header of
the article. But this might be unwieldy for reasons I haven't thought
of...and anyhow the above seems to do the job.

* smtp

I wanted to be able to adjust the smtp-user via gnus-posting-styles --
e.g. so that "sent" mail automatically ends up in the 

[Gmail]/Sent

folder of the correct gmail account.

One solution is to adapt some code found here

   http://emacswiki.org/emacs/MultipleSMTPAccounts

as follows.

;----------------------------------------
(eval-after-load "smtpmail"
  '(progn
     (defun smtpmail-get-and-delete-smtp-user-from-header ()
       "Find header field X-SMTP-User and if found return value as
         string and delete header field. If a header field of this
         name doesn't exist, return nil."
       (save-excursion
 (goto-char (point-min))
 (save-match-data
   (let ((smtp-server))
     (loop until (or (eobp) (looking-at "^[ \t]*$"))
   if (looking-at "X-SMTP-User[ \t]*:[ \t]*\\(.*?\\)[ \t]*\n")
   return (prog1 (match-string 1) (replace-match ""))
   else
   do (forward-line 1))))))
     
     (defadvice smtpmail-via-smtp (around set-smtp-user-from-header activate)
       (let ((smtpmail-smtp-user (or (smtpmail-get-and-delete-smtp-user-from-header)
       smtpmail-smtp-user)))
 ad-do-it
 ))))

;----------------------------------------

Now just do something like

(setq gnus-posting-styles
  '(    
    ("gmail1"
      ("X-SMTP-User" "gmail1-user")
    )
    ("gmail2"
      ("X-SMTP-User" "gmail2-user")
    )
   )
)

(or add the relevant lines to existing defn of gnus-posting-styles...)
to insert "X-SMTP-User" headers temporarily in the mail for consumption by
smtpmail-via-smtp when sending the mail.

best,
george
