gnus questions

[Gregory.Chernov]

Hi, 

I'm using gnus snapshot 20010119 on Xemacs (non-mule).

Saw couple of problems with this version.

1. slashdot.

I used following code to browse url in slashdot articles with netscape:

(eval-after-load "w3"
  '(progn
     (fset 'w3-fetch-orig (symbol-function 'w3-fetch))
     (defun w3-fetch (&optional url target)
       (interactive (list (w3-read-url-with-default)))
       (if (eq major-mode 'gnus-article-mode)
           (browse-url-netscape url t)
         (w3-fetch-orig url target)
         )
       )
     ))

It's not working now. W3 is used to fetch url's.

2. dejanews.

If I repeat dejanews search with the same pattern, no articles is
found. I figured that commenting out line:
 (unless (nnweb-get-hashtb url)
in nnweb-dejanews-create-mapping function fixes the problem.
Is it gnus bug?

3. I'm using non-mule xemacs and with new version of gnus
I just don't understand how to send messages with non-ascii
headers. I can't send message with unencoded headers, can't
control headers encoding. Only option is iso-8859-1 encoded
headers. For now I just copied rfc2047.el from 5.8.4 gnus.
Is it intended behavior or I'm miss something?

Thanks.

I use the following code to browse url in external program.

(eval-after-load "w3-display"
  '(defun w3-follow-hyperlink (widget &rest ignore)
     (let ((href (widget-get widget :href)))
       (browse-url href))))

But I am not sure whether eval-after-load works in XEmacs.

The bug is probably in nnweb-possibly-change-server.  When the group
is ephemeral, the hashtb is not cleared.

It is a bug. Could you try (rfc2047-encode-string "Français") ?
