Subject: mail-followup-to in docs
Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2003 17:42:51 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87brqdk68k.fsf@uwo.ca> (raw)

The "Mailing Lists" node of the info docs talks mainly about
mail-followup-to, but the index entry for mail-followup-to doesn't
point to it.

Also, in the description of "to-list" on the "Group Parameters" page,
there are two similar paragraphs:

     If you do an `a' command in a mail group and you have neither a
     `to-list' group parameter nor a `to-address' group parameter, then
     a `to-list' group parameter will be added automatically upon
     sending the message if `gnus-add-to-list' is set to `t'.

     If you do an `a' command in a mail group and you don't have a
     `to-list' group parameter, one will be added automatically upon
     sending the message.

Probably the second one should be deleted.

The "Group Parameters" page also says:

`subscribed'
     If this parameter is set to `t', Gnus will consider the to-address
     and to-list parameters for this group as addresses of mailing
     lists you are subscribed to.  Giving Gnus this information is
     (only) a first step in getting it to generate correct
     Mail-Followup-To headers for your posts to these lists.  *Note
     Mailing Lists: (message)Mailing Lists, for a complete treatment of
     available MFT support.

     See also `gnus-find-subscribed-addresses', the function that
     directly uses this group parameter.

Maybe this could be made more explicit, e.g. insert the following
sentence before the *Note.

     The other step is to put the following in your gnus.el:

               (setq message-subscribed-address-functions
                '(gnus-find-subscribed-addresses))

Is there some reason this isn't the default setting?

Dan
