Subject: Integrating message-utils.el into Gnus?
Date: 27 Apr 2001 22:48:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <874rval15a.fsf@fulmine.dhs.org> (raw)

At <http://www.coling.uni-freiburg.de/~schauer/emacs.html>, Holger
Schauer [1] provides a file called message-utils.el [2].  It contains
a few complementary functions for use with Gnus' message-mode.

Personally, I find three of those functions extraordinarily useful:

  o  `message-change-subject' asks for a new subject, and modifies the
     message's Subject header in a way that is RFC 1036bis compliant:
     `new subject (was: old subject)'.

  o  `message-strip-subject-was' can be hooked into
     `message-header-setup-hook'.  It strips `(was: old subject)' from
     the Subject header (which is what user agents are supposed to do)
     as far as I know) when entering message-mode.  Both slrn and tin
     do this out-of-the-box.

  o  `message-xpost-fup2' asks for a newsgroup name (providing
     tab-completion via gnus-newsrc-alist).  This name is then
     appended to the Newsgroups header, and the Followup-To header
     is modified to contain only the given newsgroup name as its
     value.  Furthermore, a customizable note is inserted in the
     message body, saying that a Followup-To header has been set.

Is there any chance of integrating these functions into the standard
Gnus distribution?
