new cite-region feature

new cite-region feature

[Kai Großjohann]

I just wanted to say that the new cite-region feature is way cool.  I
use it because with it, I can cite _more_ than Gnus would normally
cite.  For example, in the previous message I cited some code from a
diff.  It was a text/x-patch part, and just hitting `F' wouldn't cite
it (even though the buffer was currently displaying the part).  But I
just marked the diff and then hit `F' from the article buffer.

Yay!  Yay!

The fact that the workaround works is good to know, but it still is
that: a workaround. Would it be very hard to fix
`gnus-summary-followup-with-original' so that it cites all displayed
parts of an article?

ACK. I often use it to cite small parts from the original article. But
suppose you have the following article:

,----[ foo's article ]
| bar wrote:
| 
| > a b c
| > e f g
| > bar bar bar
| 
| foo foo foo
| x y z
`----

When I cite-region the lines from "> bar" to "foo foo foo", I will
_not_ have an attribution line like "> bar wrote:". It would be nice
if Gnus could keep _all_ attribution lines. If not needed, they can be
C-k'ed easily.

Bye, Reiner.

You're very right.  Whee.  This might not be easy.

(Even better would be to keep only the necessary lines.)

Hackish solution: backwards find all regions on the current (or higher)
citation level that have `gnus-cite-attribution-face'. Collect and cite
them.

See above. I don't know how to do the "current citation level" thing,
though. Aren't there citation-level dependent face attributes?

Have fun,
