Cannot find my own post

Cannot find my own post

[jenia.ivlev]

Hello.

When I send a message to a gnus channel like this one, I cannot find my
own message again after that.


I'm posting this message by opening a channel like emacs.gnus.general
and pressing `a` in the summary buffer.

Can someone tell me why I can't find my own posts?

Thanks a lot in advance.
Jenia.

What do you mean "find"? How are you looking for them?

You enter the group and press / o 200 RET or something like that?

That sounds like the(/a) right way to do it - we usually call them
groups rather than channels, but anyway :-)

Thanks for your answer Adam.

> What do you mean "find"? How are you looking for them?

Lol. it sound funny reading my post. What I mean is: I can't
find the post - by title usually - until someone answers it. It just
doesnt appear until it receives an answer.

I look in the summary-buffer that displays a list of posts in the
relevant group, in this case emacs.gnus.general.

So to take an exmaple, I couldnt find my original post until
you answered it. Now, that you replied, I can find my post and
your answer displayed as a thread.

> You enter the group and press / o 200 RET or something like that?

Yes, by pressing <enter> and then enter again to pick out
the default option that gnus provides, which is to fetch 200 previous messages.

And I must say that one strang thing that I've noticed, is that when
someone answers my post, my thread is usually the 200th one. Its often
the last thread in the summary buffer for some reason.

Try to change gnus-thread-sort-functions ?

By default articles you have already read are not shown.

By default the articles are displayed chronologically (newest articles
last).

You can customize this.

Does this help?
