request: default address for gnus-summary-resend-message

[Max Froumentin]

I moderate a few mailing lists where I'm supposed to resend the
messages I receive to the list's address.  I usually do this using
gnus-summary-resend-message where I have to type the name of the list
in the minibuffer.

Wouldn't it be possible to have a default value for gnus-s-r-m that
would be the current message's "To:" header?

Or is there another way of doing this sort of moderation?

Max.

Try to send a "bounced" mail: `S D b'.

This causes a bug: if I want to bounce this message I received:

-------------------
From: someone
Subject: [Moderator Action] XSL- standards
To: <xsl-editors@w3.org>
Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2001 01:06:51 -0500 (EST)

Hi,
Are there any well-defined standards for writing xsl documents somewhat
similar to the coding standards for writing java programs?
If there are please let me know at the earliest.

Thanks & Regards
--------------------

The bounce buffer appears as this:

-------------
X-Draft-From: ("mail.xsl-xpath-editors" "")

Sorry, I should have said, the message you want to bounce must obey
some formatting rules.  Lately, ShengHuo kindly made Gnus recognize
again messages from Majordomo.

'Lately' as in 'in the CVS tree'? Anyway, I'm not sure it'll be useful
to me as we're using smartlist. I guess I'll try to hack something up.

Well, maybe

(defun mf-moderate (n)
  (interactive (list  current-prefix-arg))
  (gnus-summary-resend-message "your@mail.address.here" n))

does the trick?

This will resend the message to "your@mail.address.here", right?  What
I would like is the article to be resent to the original "to:" header,
which can vary according to the mailing list I'm moderating.

But I would also like to be able to change the address
interactively. It often happens that people will cross-post to my list
and some other address, which are both in the original "to:". In that
case I want to edit the address to resend to. That's why I would
favour a method where I do S-D-r, and be prompted for the address
(like now), but with the addition of the original "To:" in the
minibuffer, so I can just press return or else edit the line.

Hope I'm making myself clear,

Max.

I recently upgraded to oGnus v0.07.  I frequently use S D r to re-send
mail while keeping the headers intact and this new default mode forces
me to erase the default and enter a new address each time.  This seems
dangerous to me - if I wasn't paying attention I could accidentally
resend to people.

Can this be an option such that the old behaviour is the default (no
default address to resend to is supplied) but if a certain boolean
(e.g. gnus-summary-resend-default) is set then fill in the current To:
field?

For example:

(setq gnus-summary-resend-default nil) ; no default addr - this is the default
(setq gnus-summary-resend-default t)   ; default to current To: field
(setq gnus-summary-resend-default "user@addr.com") ; this is always the default
