Expiring article but keep flags?

Rainer M Krug — 2013-06-17T09:43:09

Hi

I guess my question goes beyond what expiring was intended to do, but
here it is:

I would like to expire an article, but keep the ! tag.
Is there a way of doing this?

The reasoning is that I am using expire to archive messages from my
inbox, and I use the ! mark to mark interesting / important messages
which I would like to look at some time later.

Thanks,

Rainer

nnmaildir + expire-group

Shnippelson — 2013-06-13T10:20:48

Hello!

i don't understand why gnus deletes my expire mails from "Mail" but not
moves to the "Archive" group. Can you help me?

I have set:

(setq auto-expire t)
(setq nnmail-expiry-wait 1)

(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "gnu"
    (nntp-address
    "news.gnus.org")))

 (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '(
        (nnmaildir "Archive" 
          (directory "~/.emacs.d/Gnus/Archive/") 
          (expire-age never))
       (nnmaildir "Mail" 
  (directory "~/.emacs.d/Gnus/Mail/")
  (expire-group
        "nnmaildir+Archive:INBOX"))))

reformat messages without adding returns

Rainer M Krug — 2013-06-13T07:41:50

Hi

I know I can reformat a paragraph by using M-Ret but tis also adds teo
empty lines and it only reformats the paragraph after the location of
the cursor.

Is there a way of reformating (mainly fixing long lines in replies) in
the *wholw* message *without* adding extra lines?

Thanks,

Rainer

Show picture in message

Cecil Westerhof — 2013-06-09T10:50:44

Nowadays I often receive messages with pictures in it. But to get them
displayed, I have to click on the mime ‘button’. The less I need to
use the mouse, the happier I am. (One of the reasons to use
Emacs/Gnus.)

Is there a keyboard shortcut to display the pictures? Until now I did
not find one.

My gnus does not fetch articles

Vincent Belaïche — 2013-06-08T13:59:06

Hello,

Sorry to bother you all. I have a problem with gnus not fetching the
messages. It seems that gnus detects that there are new unread messages
on the server, but they aren't fetched.

This problem happened to me since orange closed their news server and I
turned to another server.

I can read the news on the same group with Mozilla Thunderbird, but not
with gnus.

I am using the latest gnus from the GIT repo.

I have also reset by ~/.newsrc and  ~/.newsrc.eld files, but that did
not help.

VBR,
   Vincent.

Outlook-style quoting for Gnus

Elias Mårtenson — 2013-06-07T02:34:27

At work I suffer from a problem that I suppose is not unique in the world:
Being in an organisation that exclusively uses Outlook. For quite some time
I suffered using Thunderbird, but I don't think I have to tell anyone here
that that is not an ideal situation. Especially when most of the corporate
communication is happening through email.

I tried using Gnus, but I realised quickly that the everybody expects the
replies to conform to the (yes, quite horrible) citation style of Outlook.
This means that emails are HTML, and that the entire email chain prior is
included in each mail. This includes preserved formatting and images. I
also realised that Gnus had no way to provide this.

This needed a solution. If one doesn't exist: Make one.

So, I did. Me and a colleague have been using this for a while now, and it
works quite effectively. So I felt it's time to ask the larger community if
this this is something that anyone else has worked on addressing, and
whether or not this is something that other people ma

How to debug scoring?

Oleksandr Gavenko — 2013-06-06T22:22:30

Currently I call:

  (gnus-score-adaptive)     ; have no key binding
  (gnus-score-save)         ; have no key binding
  (gnus-score-flush-cache)  ; V F
  (gnus-summary-rescore)    ; V R

Most correct way still (gnus-summary-exit) but it take some time to enter to
group *Summary* again...

Can I use env variables in a score file?

daniele.g — 2013-06-06T09:04:12

I'd like to make the file
,----[ all.SCORE ]
| ;; -*- mode: lisp; -*-
| (
|  ("from" ("daniele.g" +1000 nil s))
|  ("message-id"
|   ("< at >mother.nostromo.wy>" +9000 nil s)
|   ("< at >nostromo.nostromo.wy>" +9000 nil s))
|  ("references"
|   ("< at >nostromo\\.nostromo\\.wy>$" +8000 nil r)

more portable changing the string "< at >mother.nostromo.wy> into something
like $hostname.$domainname.

Can I do this? How?

Thanks in advance.

Folding in article window?

Rainer M. Krug — 2013-05-30T08:25:16

Hi

I am using notmuch for indexing and searching my emails and I must say I
really like it's folding of conversations, i.e. folding in the article
buffer.

Is there something like this possible in gnus?

If not, is there an easy way of opening the thread in notmuch (obviously
assuming it was indexed already)? Something like searching for the
subject or mail id using notmuch-search?

Cheers,

Rainer

gnus doesn't use nnimap-authinfo-file

Shnippelson — 2013-05-28T19:38:49

Hi

I'm trying to set up gnus but without success.
It is seems to me that gnus doesn't use "nnimap-authinfo-file".
I have the following lines in gnus-init: 

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '(
   (nnimap "Work"
   (nnimap-address "mail.work.ru")
   (nnimap-authinfo-file "/home/shnip/.emacs.d/gnus/.authinfo")
   (nnimap-stream ssl)
   (nnimap-server-port 993))))

But gnus reads information from file ~/.authinfo. I can check it by
deleting the file.

Reading email from a Yahoo POP server (inbound.att.net)

Alan — 2013-05-27T23:09:43

I've made an effort to get email from a POP enabled Yahoo server (inbound.att.net), but the buffer " trace of POP session to inbound.att.net" ends up with content:

+OK password required.

-ERR [SYS/TEMP] Service is not available; please try again later.

*** Fatal error: The TLS connection was non-properly terminated.
*** Server has terminated the connection abnormally.

and I seem stuck--for the moment.

If others have succeeded, I'd be interested in some of the relevant details.

My version information is:

GNU Emacs 24.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2012-08-28 on MARVIN
Gnus v5.13

and I have gnutls, openssl, etc. from Cygwin installed.  My operating system is Windows XP Home.

From my customization file:

 '(gnus-secondary-select-methods (quote ((nnbabyl ""))))
 '(gnus-select-method (quote (nnnil "news")))
 '(mail-sources (quote ((pop :server "inbound.att.net" :port 995 :user "USER" :authentication password :stream ssl))))

Read Fcc mails in /home/rkrug/Maildir/sent

Rainer M. Krug — 2013-05-27T11:01:55

Hi

I have the following FFC header:

,----
| Fcc: /home/rkrug/Maildir/sent
`----

but I don't manage to acces the emails.

I have a dovecot imap server running with /home/rkrug/Maildir as the
maildir, but I don't see the folder 'sent' there.

I tried to acces the folder via the nnmaildir, but I get

,----
|      {nnmaildir:~/Maildir/sent} (denied)
|      {nnmaildir:~/Maildir} (denied)
|      {nnmaildir:} (denied)
`----

for all tries.

Now I can't even delete the dead groups in GNUS. 

Any suggestions? 

Is it possible to set the Fcc to an imap folder, e.g.:

,----
| nnimap+Maildir:sent"
`----

and how can I set Fcc in my .gnus file?

Thanks,

Rainer

Highlighted buttons in article mode

Emanuel Berg — 2013-05-23T22:15:22

Can I get the buttons in Article mode not to be highlighted? I like
them not to be, as I'd like them the same as the buttons of rmail and
the Emacs Help, but (unlike those) when I set the face to one that
isn't bold (I tried to just copy the face of "button" to that of
gnus-button), they're highlighted (bright) just the same. I don't know
why.

unset default to-address for group?

Rainer M. Krug — 2013-05-23T11:58:48

Hi

it seems that I have accidentally set a default to-address for my inbox
as everytime I press a in this group to send an email, there is an email
in the to-field (which has nothing to do with the group).

Any suggestions how I can get rid of it?

I already restarted emacs to get rid of any non-temporary changes, but
it is still there.

Thanks,

Rainer

subscribing nnimap INBOX persistently

2013-05-23T08:13:01

In the gnus *Group*  buffer I see some mailboxes and also some INBOX/xxx mailboxes, but not my INBOX . I learned how to subscribe it everytime I start gnus. But can I have the INBOX automatically subscribed when I start gnus?

More generally, how can I control which imap mailboxes are automatically subscribed when I start gnus and get the *Group* buffer?

Thanks for any hint.

Article: Toggle headers visibility

Emanuel Berg — 2013-05-16T23:42:40

I'm trying to get the headers not to show (none of them). This I
managed to do with the call below marked with [1]. (The code is pasted
last.)

But, sometimes I need the data in the headers:

1) Are those stored in local variables? If so, that would be easier,
to write access defuns like `kill-article-author' and the like.

2) If not, I'd like to strike a command, view the headers (some of
them), move point (etc.), and get them.

So I wrote the defun at [2]. That actually works, only I have to read
the article again manually from the summary - is there a way to do it
programatically, like `gnus-article-redraw' or something?

But, once I've done that, I try to hide the headers again. But, then,
the defun at [3] won't have any affect (or rather, the highlight of
the From header face changes - ? - that's all). But, didn't it work
the first time around?

I'm pretty confused by this, so any explanations would be great. If
you have another solution to this problem, I'd be happy to read that,
as well. Cheers.

Posting to usenet via gnus

SabreWolfy — 2013-05-15T16:39:33

I run Emacs 23.3.1 with Gnus 5.13 under various Debian-based distributions,
which I have configured to read news from Gmane. However, I post via the
Gmane website. What is the best way to post directly from within Emacs? I've
searched for a solution, but have not found one yet. Do I need to subscribe
to each group and suppress mail delivery (I'm accessing via Gmane). Any
guidance would be appreciated.

allow catch up for groups with flagged messages

Joseph Mingrone — 2013-05-12T03:57:56

Is there a configuration option to do this?  By default, if there is a
flagged message you can only see that message in the group and the group
will always show up in the *Group* buffer.
