Subject: (make-variable-buffer-local 'gnus-treat-hide-citation)
Date: 25 Jul 1999 18:38:57 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <80so6c4any.fsf@lucy.sightpath.com> (raw)
I want to tailor some gnus-treat-... settings in group-specific ways.
The obvious approach didn't work: using
`gnus-summary-customize-parameters' (M-C-g) I added a variable
`gnus-treat-hide-citation' with a value of nil:
Variables:
Set variables local to the group you are entering. [More]
[INS] [DEL] Variable: gnus-treat-hide-citation
Value: nil
[INS]
It seems that the variable gets made buffer-local to the *Summary*
buffer, and it ends up having no effect in the *Article* buffer.
Somewhat disappointed, I cobbled together this awkward alternative:
(add-hook 'gnus-article-mode-hook 'my-gnus-article-mode-hooked)
(defun my-gnus-article-mode-hooked ()
(and (string= "nnml:bulk.foo" gnus-newsgroup-name)
(progn
(make-variable-buffer-local 'gnus-treat-hide-citation)
(setq gnus-treat-hide-citation nil))))
So, two questions:
1. Should the M-C-g way work? And is the current behavior a bug?
2. Is the gnus-article-mode-hook solution the Right Way? (Do
users really have to revert to writing Elisp to do this trivial
"customization"?)
