LDAP support.

LDAP support.

[Jorge Godoy]

Hi! 


Is it possible to use LDAP with Gnus? I use it with BBDB and I'd like
to add LDAP support to it (i.e., use both if possible).

I've found nothing at the info file.


Thanks!

posting styles problem: "body" attribute

[Bill White]

>From the Picking Nits department -

I'm playing around with posting styles:

,----[ ~/.gnus ]
| (setq gnus-inhibit-posting-styles nil)
| (setq gnus-posting-styles
|       '((".*"
|          (body "\n\nbw")
|          (signature-file "/billw/Mail/.signature"))))
`----

When I start a new message, either with 'm' in the Group buffer or by
replying to another message, I get an unwanted newline after my
initials and before message-signature-separator, like this:

        ,----[ with posting styles ]
        | To: 
        | Subject: 
        | Gcc: nnml:archive.2000-11
        | --text follows this line--
        | 
        | 
        | bw
ACK! => | 
        | -- 
        | Bill White . billw@wolfram.com . http://members.wri.com/billw
        `----

With posting styles disabled, there's still a newline before
message-signature-separator, of course:

      ,----[ without posting styles ]
      | To: 
      | Subject: 
      | Gcc: nnml:archive.2000-11
      | --text follows this line--
NL => | 
      | -- 
      | Bill White . billw@wolfram.com . http://members.wri.com/billw
      `----

So is it possible to make the "body" attribute in my posting style
insert its stuff *after* the newline? Or is there some other way to
automatically delete/disable the newline?

Thanks -

bw (newline removed manually)

The newline comes from `message-insert-signature' (see message.el),
what you can do is to create your own function to insert the
signature, for instance:

;; Untested!
(defun my-sig ()
  (interactive)
  (insert "Your cool signature here."))

and then you can use:

,----[ ~/.gnus ]
| (setq gnus-posting-styles
|       '((".*"
|          (body "\n\nbw")
|          (signature my-sig))))
`----

Have a look at the EUDC package. It supports many directory services as
a client, including LDAP and the BBDB.

Hello,

I gave a look at EUDC, it seems to need an 'ldapsearch' command-line tool to
interrogate the LDAP server, however I have been unable to find a binary
version of this tool for Win32 --i'm using NT-Emacs on W95 -, has anybody seen
such a beast ?

thanks





fab.

ldapsearch is available with OpenLDAP (http://www.openldap.org). You
might look at it to see if there's a compiled Windows version of it.

OK, finally I have compiled ldapsearch on win32 -using cygwin-. Now all I need
is some time to RTFM.

cheers.
