Overriding a part of message-id when posting // suppress user-agent

Overriding a part of message-id when posting // suppress user-agent

[Christoph Conrad]

Hi,

i want to override a part of the message id when posting in a specific
newsgroup. So far i use the code copied below. But that does not work. I
can't figure out why. Additionally i want to suppress the generation of
the user-agent only in this group. Adding (User-Agent nil) to the group
parameters also does not suppress the header.

Best wishes,
Christoph

(add-to-list 'gnus-newsgroup-variables
             'mid-identifiable-part)

(setq gnus-posting-styles
      '((".*"
         ...
         (eval (setq mid-identifiable-part "@ID-24456.user.uni-berlin.de"))


(eval-after-load "nnmail"
  '(defun nnmail-message-id ()
     (concat "<" (message-unique-id) mid-identifiable-part ">")))

(eval-after-load "message"
  '(defun message-make-message-id ()
     (concat "<" (message-unique-id) mid-identifiable-part ">")))

Additionally in the group parameters of the newsgroup:

((timestamp 17568 50471)
 (posting-style
  (eval
   (setq mid-identifiable-part "@879879879898z.de"))))

While I didn't debug what's going wrong with your customization, I
think you can achieve that in a less invasive way by setting
message-user-fqdn.

Setting gnus-user-agent to nil seems to do this.  So, does the
following work for you?

Does removing User-Agent from `message-required-news-headers' and/or
`message-required-mail-headers' work?

What's wrong with `message-user-fqdn'?

,----[ (info "(message)News Headers") ]
| `Message-ID'
|      This required header will be generated by Message.  A unique ID
|      will be created based on the date, time, user name (for the local
|      part) and the domain part.  For the domain part, message will look
|      (in this order) at `message-user-fqdn', `system-name',
|      `mail-host-address' and `message-user-mail-address' (i.e.
|      `user-mail-address') until a probably valid fully qualified domain
|      name (FQDN) was found.

Probably this will work - i don't try it, cause Andreas solution in
<87psgvav6m.fsf@gate450.dyndns.org> works very good.

I did not know about that variable, but now i use it. It solves my
problem.
