gnus-delay problem

gnus-delay problem

[Jesper Harder]

I can't get gnus-delay working.  

The problem appears to be the code in `gnus-delay-article' which is
responsible for creating the delay group:

  ;; If group does not exist, create it.
  (let ((group (format "nndraft:%s" gnus-delay-group)))
    (unless (gnus-gethash group gnus-newsrc-hashtb)
      (nndraft-request-create-group gnus-delay-group)
      ;; Make it active.
      (gnus-set-active group (cons 1 0))))

The directory for the delay group is created, but Gnus doesn't find
the group and it isn't entered in my `gnus-newsrc-hashtb'.  After
executing the above

    (gnus-gethash group gnus-newsrc-hashtb)

still returns nil.

What could be the problem?

I think I snarfed this code from the spot where nndraft:drafts is
created.  So if that code has changed, the gnus-delay code may have
to be changed, too.

I know it was a stupid thing to do to copy and paste things that I
didn't understand.

I've now snarfed code from the agent to do this.  Here is a patch.
But I haven't tested it.  Does it work?

I still don't understand any of it.

Yup, it works fine.  Thanks.

gnus-delay problem

[Kai Großjohann]

gnus-delay-article invokes nndraft-request-create-group to create the
nndraft:delayed group.  But after invoking the command, I have a file
~/News/drafts/delayed but `U' and `j' and gnus-newsrc-hashtb and
gnus-active-hashtb do not know the group.

What did I do wrong (in gnus-delay.el)?  I think it used to work?

That's a mystery for me too.  I needed to use `G m' to create
the nndraft:delayed group if my vague memory doesn't deceive me.
