Mailing lists and gnus-parameters weirdness

Mailing lists and gnus-parameters weirdness

[Jérôme Marant]

Hi,

Here is an excerpt from my gnus-parameters:

----------

 ("debian-devel"
  (to-address . "debian-devel@lists.debian.org")
  (to-list . "debian-devel@lists.debian.org")
  (subscribed . t))

...

 ("debian-devel-french"
  (to-address . "debian-devel-french@lists.debian.org")
  (to-list . "debian-devel-french@lists.debian.org")
  (subscribed . t))

...

 ("emacs-devel"
  (to-address . "emacs-devel@gnu.org")
  (to-list . "emacs-devel@gnu.org")
  (subscribed . t))

...

 ("pkg-emacs-devel"
  (to-address . "pkg-emacs-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org")
  (to-list . "pkg-emacs-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org")
  (subscribed . t))

----------

When I am in the "debian-devel-french" group and I want to
post a message, I do type "a".
I'm surprised to see that Gnus set To: to "debian-devel@lists.debian.org"
instead of "debian-devel-french@lists.debian.org".

Also, when posting from "pkg-emacs-devel", Gnus set the To: field
to "emacs-devel@gnu.org" instead of
"pkg-emacs-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org".

Does anyone know what's going on? Didn't I configure gnus-parameters
properly?

Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty new with Gnus, so I could be way off, but I think the group
specifier in the gnus-parameters is a regex and that the first one to
match will be used?  If that is the case, try putting
debian-devel-french _before_ debian-devel.

My apologies. I suddenly recalled that matches where made on regexps
and not on exact names. Sorry about that.

Thanks.
