Hi all,
I was trying to set truncate-lines to t in some groups and nil in
others.
In gnus-art.el the docstring for gnus-article-truncate-lines says
'Valid values are nil, t, `head', `first', `last', an integer or a
predicate.'
which led me to think this would work:
(setq gnus-article-truncate-lines '("group1" "group2"))
but this turns on truncate-lines in all groups, not just group1 and group2.
I think that the issue is that gnus-article-truncate-lines is only
actually allowed to be nil or non-nil, ie:
- the docstring for gnus-article-truncate-lines is wrong
- there should be a new variable gnus-treat-truncate-lines
(defined like gnus-treat-fill-long-lines )
- there should be a new function gnus-article-truncate-long-lines that
simply does: (setq truncate-lines t)
(or should that be gnus-article-truncate-lines? - i dont
understand why the latter is defined at all: truncate-lines is
already buffer-local)
- gnus-treatment-function-alist should contain an element
(gnus-treat-truncate-lines gnus-article-truncate-long-lines)
am i misunderstanding?

Yup; fixed in Emacs 29.

I don't think it's worth it -- people that want fine-grained control
here should just use gnus-article-mode-hook or the like.
