gnus-summary-mail-forward for more messages?

[Pavel Janik ml.]

Hi,

there is this in `Newest features (aka TODO)':

   * Be able to forward groups of messages as MIME digests.

are there any plans on implementing this? How can I forward #-marked messages
at once (does not matter how :-)?

SOm (gnus-uu-digest-mail-forward)

This digest can be broken up by a receiving gnus user by hitting C-d
on the digest.

This doesn't always work.  I had 677 messages marked to digest and it
died around #30.  Vague yes, but it died nonetheless.  The 30-some-odd
messages that it processed had the process mark removed.

Can you say M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET (or set the variable
debug-on-error to t if using XEmacs), then repeat the problem?  I
don't think anybody has ever testing digesting such a large number of
messages.

I have digested groups of that size before.  It was something with
that 30th message.  Unfortunately, I was in a hurry to compile
information for someone and could not explore the problem fully.

Cheers,

Really? This doesn't seem to work. When I use `S O m' to mail a digest
to myself and then hit C-d on that digest, I only get something like
this: 

      0[ 125: -> mike@nozomi.rhein] <* mixed> [Various] gnus-summary-mail-forward for more messages?
      0    [   2: -> mike@nozomi.rhein] <1 text>
      0    [ 107: -> mike@nozomi.rhein] <2 rfc822>
      0        [ 103: Various             ] <2 text> gnus-summary-mail-forward for more messages?
      0    [   3: -> mike@nozomi.rhein] <3 text>

i.e. the complete digest is still in one rfc822 message and not broken
up.

Am I missing something?

If you then hit `C-d' on this message, you'll get the digest split.

It didn't work to hit `C-d' on the rfc822 message when I asked this
question ((Gnus v5.8.5) XEmacs/21.1).

Kevin Falcone told me to use (setq message-forward-as-mime nil),
with this setting it worked, but not with the default t.

I just tried it again and now it works very nice with both settings,
nil and t ((Gnus v5.8.8) XEmacs/21.1), that means something must have
changed recently.  Using (setq message-forward-as-mime nil) hitting
`C-d' on the digest gives:

      0[  12: Pavel Janik ml.     ] gnus-summary-mail-forward for more messages?
      0    [  18: Kevin Falcone       ] 
      0        [  30: -> Kevin Falcone    ] 
      0            [  17: Lars Magne Ingebrigt] 

and with (setq message-forward-as-mime t) hitting `C-d' on the digest
gives:

      0[   6: nobody              ] Topics
      0[  14: Pavel Janik ml.     ] gnus-summary-mail-forward for more messages?
      0    [  19: Kevin Falcone       ] 
      0        [  31: -> Kevin Falcone    ] 
      0            [  18: Lars Magne Ingebrigt] 

i.e. it additionally shows a `Topics' part. Something like the line

      0    [ 107: -> mike@nozomi.rhein] <2 rfc822>

is not shown anymore with either of these settings.

The mime-digest type was reinstated in v0.98.  But these was a bug
until 5.8.7.
