(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml ""))) I have a number of questions about Gnus in this configuration. These may reflect problems which have been fixed in the most recent version of Gnus, which I do not have now since I am using the version in the latest standard Emacs distribution. I am interested in knowing whether my difficulties have been fixed. 1. An article is cross-posted to two mail groups: Xref: csb.bu.edu mail.emacs.bbdb:1 mail.to-jbw:3 I am in the Summary buffer for mail.emacs.bbdb on the line for this article. I type "B DEL". The file ~/Mail/mail/emacs/bbdb/1 is unlinked. The file ~/Mail/mail/to-jbw/3 is untouched. In particular, it still has the old "Xref:" header, which is incorrect because the article is no longer in mail.emacs.bbdb. Questions: A: Is this fixed? B: Is there a command that will remove the article from all of the mail groups to which it is cross-posted? 2. In the Summary buffer, the "B m" command asks for a target group. I type in a name. It complains that the group doesn't exist. (The group does indeed not exist yet. I don't care. I want the message in that group.) Question: * Is there a command that will just create the group instead of failing? 3. An article is cross-posted to two mail groups: Xref: csb.bu.edu mail.emacs.bbdb:2 mail.list.info-bbdb:1 I am in the Summary buffer for mail.emacs.bbdb on the line for this article. I type "B m" and specify the group "mail.misc". The file ~/Mail/mail/emacs/bbdb/2 is unlinked. The file ~/Mail/list/info-bbdb/1 is untouched. In particular, it still has the old "Xref:" header, which is incorrect because the other copy for the article is no longer in mail.emacs.bbdb, but is instead in mail.misc. The new file in mail.misc has the following wrong "Xref:" header: Xref: csb.bu.edu mail.misc:48 This is wrong because the message is cross-posted to "mail.list.info-bbdb". Questions: A: Is this fixed? B: Is there a command that will take an article which is cross-posted to groups A and B and make it cross-posted to A, B, and C? The "B c" command does not seem to preserve cross-posting links. 4. Question: How do people keep track of whether they have edited a message or forwarded it? 5. An article is cross-posted to multiple mail groups: Xref: csb.bu.edu mail.emacs.bbdb:4 mail.emacs.mail-extr:1 mail.to-jbw:22 I am in the Summary buffer for mail.emacs.bbdb on the line for this article. I type "!" to tick the article. I exit this summary and enter the Summary buffer for mail.emacs.mail-extr. There is no tick mark for this article in the group mail.emacs.mail-extr. Question: * Is there a variable setting so that any mark change (adding or removing a mark) I apply to a message in one group is immediately applied to the same message in any other groups to which it is cross-posted? Right now only the "R" marks seem to be propagated. 6. I am importing some mailboxes from VM. Question: How do I arrange that articles to which I have replied in VM get the "A" mark? 7. Question: What is the difference between the "%g" and "%G" format specifications for the Group buffer? 8. Question: How do I assign group descriptions to mail groups? 9. Question: Is there a command to burst a digest or encapsulated message, handling the contained messages as though they had arrived via the mail spool? 10. Question: Is there a command to resend a message using the "Resent-To:", "Resent-From:", "Resent-Date:", and "Resent-Message-ID:" headers? -- Thanks, Joe Wells
