Subject: Pretty-printing .newsrc.eld
Date: Sun, 10 Jun 2007 20:30:06 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070610173005.GA1276@kobe.laptop> (raw)
Hi all,
this is probably not a Gnus-specific question, but it was
triggered after trying to search in my `.newsrc.eld' for
something, so if you can help that's fine, but if I should post
to another mailing list address that's fine too.
Is there any way to ``pretty-print'' my `.newsrc.eld' file?
It currently contains parts which look like this:
,-----------------------------------------------------------------------
| ("comp.lang.c" 3 ((1
| . 595414) (595416 . 595423) 595426 595428 595432 (595434
| . 595435) 595439 (595441 . 595442) 595445 595447 (595452
| . 595453) 595455 (595457 . 595458) 595470 595479 (595486
| . 595487) (595495 . 595500) 595502 595507 (595510
| . 595511) (595513 . 595515) 595518 595521 595523 595526 [...]
`-----------------------------------------------------------------------
After taking a backup copy, I managed to make parts of it look
like this instead:
,-----------------------------------------------------------------------
| ("comp.lang.c" 3 ((1 . 595414) (595416 . 595423) 595426 595428
| 595432 (595434 . 595435) 595439
| (595441 . 595442) 595445 595447
| (595452 . 595453) 595455 (595457 . 595458)
| 595470 595479 (595486 . 595487)
| (595495 . 595500) 595502 595507
| (595510 . 595511) (595513 . 595515)
| 595518 595521 595523 595526 [...]

But every time Gnus fires up and rewrites this file, it is saved
with the first format (i.e. lacking indentation).
Is there any way to make Gnus save `.newsrc.eld' using the second
style, i.e. something that it a wee bit easier to skim through
using `M-x view-mode' or similar?
