Display `gnus-parameters' for the current group

Display `gnus-parameters' for the current group

[lists.emacs.gnus]

Hello,

In my quest to setup Gnus, I have troubles seing all the interaction between
variables.

One of the them is `gnus-message-archive-group' vs. `gnus-parameters'. With
the help of Tassilo, I have done this (as a test):

(custom-set-variables
 '(gnus-parameters
   (,(rx "nnimap+Fastmail:INBOX.mailinglists.")
    (gcc-self "nnml+archive:sent-mails" "nnimap+Fastmail:INBOX.Sent Items2")
    (gnus-use-scoring t)
    (subscribed . t)
    (gnus-add-to-list t))))

and my `gnus-message-archive-group' is set as:

 (setq gnus-message-archive-group
	'((if (message-news-p)
	      "misc-news"
	    "nnimap+Local:INBOX.Sent Items")))

When entering my nnimap+Local:lists.emacs.gnus group and pressing 'a', my Gcc
displays:

Gcc: "nnimap+Local:INBOX.Sent Items"


Which is not really what I expected. So my question is: how can I show the
current `gnus-parameters' in action for a particular group -ie the current.

Thank you

Why not?  You are writing a new mail, so `gnus-message-archive-group'
determines the Gcc to be that group.  And the `gnus-parameters' rule
doesn't match because the group doesn't start with
nnimap+Fastmail:INBOX.mailinglists.

I don't know.  I think `M-x gnus-group-edit-group-parameters RET' on a
group in *Group* only shows you the parameters you've set via this
interface (or which Gnus sets automatically) but not those from the
`gnus-parameters' variable.

Bye,

Ooops. Got it. Thank you. It now works just as expected.

Thank you.
