Hi all.
I have a few questions about mail forwarding.
1. I want forwarded messages to be sent as inline, so I added the
following to my gnus init file:
(setq gnus-summary-mail-forward 1)
But it does not work. I get this: #mml type=message/rfc822
disposition=inline at the begginnig of the forwarded mail. When I do C-u
1 C-c C-f I get what I want. But doing this every time I want to forward
a message is a pain.
2. I want to have only some headers included in the forwarded mail. So I
used the following snippet:
(setq message-included-forward-headers
"^Subject:\\|^To:\\|^Cc:\\|^From:\\|^Date:")
Again, it does not work. All headers are displayed. So my question is:
what I'm doing wrong :)

Setting a variable with the same name as a function doesn't change what
the function does.
,----[ C-h f gnus-summary-mail-forward RET ]
| gnus-summary-mail-forward is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
| `gnus-msg.el'.
|
| (gnus-summary-mail-forward &optional ARG POST)
|
| Forward the current message(s) to another user.
| If process marks exist, forward all marked messages;
| if ARG is nil, see `message-forward-as-mime' and `message-forward-show-mml';
| if ARG is 1, decode the message and forward directly inline;
| if ARG is 2, forward message as an rfc822 MIME section;
| if ARG is 3, decode message and forward as an rfc822 MIME section;
| if ARG is 4, forward message directly inline;
| otherwise, use flipped `message-forward-as-mime'.
| If POST, post instead of mail.
| For the "inline" alternatives, also see the variable
| `message-forward-ignored-headers'.

What you want to do is to pass the optional ARG to the function.
I.e. you press: C-u 1 C-c C-f instead of just C-c C-f to forward the
email.

Where did you get that from?
The changelog.1 file says that that variable was removed. In 1999:
"1999-02-09 15:25:52 Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <larsi@gnus.org>
[...]
(message-included-forward-headers): Removed."

I think you are collecting your snippets of configuration from very
strange places :-)
Best regards,
Adam

Or, also per the documentation, you can set message-forward-as-mime to
nil.

Unfortunately the variable now appears to be
message-forward-ignored-headers, which is really doing the opposite of
what you want.

Thanks for the tip. Now it is working the way I want.

Indeed. I google my snippets usually. Thats the reason I stumbled across
deprecated message-included-forward-headers. I was aware of
message-forward-ignored-headers, but since there are so many headers :)
I thought there has to be a better way to get rid most of them. Its a
shame it got remove in 1999. I could really use in 2012. I guess I have
to use the next best thing:
(setq message-forward-ignored-headers "^.*")
